Inspirational

My own personal theory is that Bouguereau inspired twentieth century art. His contemporaries obviously realized that when their work was compared to his, they would fall so remarkably short, that they secretly conspired to reverse the rules. Thus turning a two dimensional surface into a two dimensional surface became the goal of modern aRT. There is absolutely no evidence as to the veracity of this theory of mine but as a strong believer in conspiracies I think it rings true.
