Has art jumped the shark after WWI?

Now, the audience does need to come into consideration when you're trying to understand how to communicate your expression, but ultimately, the expression comes from the artist.

You can paint a picture without having an audience, you can write a book too or compose music. But you can't develop a multi million video game or make a movie without an audience in mind. They may be art, but they're a commodity too, since they need to be sold.
