Perhaps painting and sculpture are simply changing? Started out with coiled clay and cave walls, after all. I have serious doubts about the love of art of people who really mean that they like a particular form of a particular media. Damn all this hippity hop and rock music! Doesn't really have anything to do with art or the death of art, it's a pretext for culture war by proxy - in every age, at all times.
In mere reality, there's a larger and more talented pool of artists making more art today than there ever has been at any previous point. One wonders if The Greats™ themselves would seem so uniquely great if they had as much competition, and how many of them would have abandoned their own tools of their own time for just the slightest whiff of CGI or CAM today. Damn near certain that alot of the great composers would be doing club music. That's what they were doing then.....
