I believe some of the "isms" of 20th century art had a point in their day, but in general lacked real substance. Most of it seemed to be about people's personal gripes or points of view. The truth is that a person's personal gripes or points of view are not always worth much. They may be worth a conversation, but they are not often worth a $40,000 price tag. Sooner or later that had to become evident. Maybe now, that it has all been said, it just isn't interesting anymore. But, the point of light on the forehead of Rembrandt with the mysterious background in his self-portrait that I'm looking at right now, has stood the test of time.
