It seems to me that the great movements of life and art go on with or without us. There is really nothing to be done.
Manet simply got bored with classicism and decamped from Couture's studio to do his own thing. Degas classically trained, was interested in color as color and portraying life as he saw it. Tubed paint came along in 1841 and freed the artist from the studio.
Each era has it's own reasoning to do art in it's own peculiar way, good bad or indifferent.
"If you can do something about it, don't worry, If you can't do something about it, don't worry." Shantideva, 8th century Indian Buddhist sage.
