A look at modern art between 1945-1975 by the great Tom Wolfe. I think he's right. The folks involved in art, outside from the artists, built up movements that are somewhat meaningless compared to their more realist predecessors from Da Vinci on. While some of Abstract Expressionist paintings can be dazzling and Op Art illusions trick the mind, they leave the (honest) viewer wondering if they only been jerked around.
