Has art jumped the shark after WWI?

[abaris]

I don't know. For me enjoyment of art is not just provokation of emotions. I want to fi d something interesting as well, there's got to be a combination of the two.

Emotional combines both for me. I don't get emotional when something doesn't interest me as well.

Edit:



That painting by Pieter Bruegel is actually a good example. It interests me because there's so much detail, but it also grips me emotionally, since I can look at it for quite some time, imagining what life has been like back then and him showing it to me. It's a one way mirror into 16th century Holland.
