>Classical art evicts much more feeling from the average viewers soul than any modern masterpiece (and I use the term loosely) ever could.

I guess that that's a matter of personal opinion. To me, an over-reliance on Classical motifs is indicative of a lack of inspiration; it might be pleasant to look at (as long as one doesn't look at it for too long), but it fails to evoke in any real emotional response in me.

>The detailing and realism bring the viewer into a different world that they can relate to more closely than paint splatters.

Again, that's a matter of personal opinion. YOU might be able to relate more easily with Neoclassical art on account of its realism, but that very same realism makes it seem cool and distant to me. I find the atomized sensation of pic related much more relevant to my own internal landscape.
