There was once a time when art history and film were basically the same medium, but art history is frozen in late-19th-century technology that has survived into the early 21st century.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
History develops, art stands still.
Art history looks at art works and the people who have created them.
The art market was very different before the mid-1980s: then, art was all about passion, whereas now it's become a commodity.
The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
Film and art are close together.
Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time.
Cinema is arguably the 20th century's most influential art form.
In its most limited sense, modern, art would seem to concern itself only with the technical innovations of the period.
Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
All art becomes history as soon as it is made, so it is inevitably part of a tradition. It doesn't matter a toss if it is in paint or in film; it is all art.
