you are talking about art history. after a specific amount of time (25-30 yrs?) art ceases to be relevant in anyway other than a historical document. talking about picasso is like discussing antiques...a piece of furniture. museums try to confuse this issue. art in the classic sense. painting, sculpture (any shit you would see in a gallery or museum) is obsolete now anyway. so it's already disappeared? no because i hear those moving pictures are very popular these days.
