Every generation defines itself, to some extent, in rebellion to their elders'. The fine art world is so caught up in its high minded, illusory and often times silly ideals about what art should be that it often forgets that art is a petri dish for our culture. What eventually happens is that a new generation who feels the weight of history decides to throw it all off. The Impressionists sidestepped the Salon, in the 60's artists formed unions to overthrow the museums and protest the war in the 60's (the museums are still with us thankfully), and sometime in the 80's younger artists, partly because of the weight of history and partly because some simply knew nothing of history they simply ignored high art and embraced the art they grew up with. I suppose you can call it low or popular art. I use these terms somewhat facetiously here as my philosophy at least tries to ignore those labels in search of a more holistic understanding of art. More recently I've been known to rail against the democritization of art. But just so you understand the complexity of my views I am not against the next generation sidestepping the system.
