I wish I lived in more enlightened times.

Just had to quote that because I love paintings, to me they're better than photographs. They each have a certain "feel" and style. It's sad that paintings aren't as widespread anymore, you never hear about some super famous artist and his painting.

Hm Johan is researching something and talks about two painters, who are both russian. So might his research field have something to do with russia? And what does it mean for EU IV? Very interesting.

It doesn't have to be classical, or even a painting. Check this kid out: http://www.lacedemon.info/galeria/

That's because the world has moved on from painting as the main form of expression in art. The function of painting as a means of expressing emotion, narrative or even just depiction is much better attained by photography, movies and literature (most people can read nowadays), plus even in painting you have myriad of new media to use rather than good old brush painting, like street art and digital art.

That, mass production, and the shift from realism to experimentation and abstraction beginning with modern art makes it very hard for any artist today to become super famous for painting.
