After post-impressionism, art has taken a turn for the worse. I don't value academic painting but rejecting those standards kickstarted the degradation and allowed hacks to become popular. Once the movement was established, artists were pretty much forced into adapting their art or retiring. There never was 'more freedom'

Pic related is a direct consequence of the metastasis

>which art is still legitimate these days and why?
There's a revival of impressionism and realism and representative art in general, thankfully.
