Pavel, this means putting the cart before the horse, and draw illustrations for a dubious theoretical concepts. Professions art for a long time did not exist, and art .... Who will determine what to represent? Today, some believe, for example, that painting on canvas is outdated ... You an example of social realism not convinced?

Painting on canvas with oil never gets old, though, because
very few outstanding artists and their works create a compelling cost basis for capital investment items. Everything else is evidence of this. "Contemporary Art", it is called by this term, closer to the theatrical action-vu with all its shortcomings, the complexity of storage and display, absence of legends, etc. Paintings on canvas always allocated in a separate category. Replace it impossible.
What do you mean with socialist realism?
The role of art critic, I think, to analyze and determine the most important artists and trends, and here I agree with you.
What I said about some of the art-it was the irony.
