Has art jumped the shark after WWI?

[abaris]

This dynamic system washes back and forth, IMHO without absolute values, so Bach was supported in his time, fell out of favor and came back based on the sum of the individual listening decisions of those with access (today that's pretty much everybody.)

On a side note, I find it hilarious if you actually look at the persons creating art, the actual artists. Mozart for example would fit the bill of pop star pretty nicely. He was a drinker, a gambling addict, who lost much of his fortune at the gambling tables and couldn't write a single letter without adding fart and poop remarks. He even wrote a canon named "kiss my ass, quickly, quickly".
