[1827] Art is dead
For thousands of years humanity strove to depict reality through art. Generation after generation the tradition of art was taught. It takes years to learn how to master the brush. An intricate skill set of fine tuned strokes. It takes days, sometimes months, to paint a scene that encompasses just one moment of still life.
Now with the invention of the “camera” there’s no more use for art. It may look bad now, but give it time and it’ll be more detailed and more accurate than any painter could ever hope to be. A perfect still life captured in seconds, instead of days, with the mere push of a button.
Years at the academy, wasted! I’ll be out of a job soon.
Art is dead.
