>In his philosophy of writing history, Barzun emphasized the role of storytelling over the use of academic jargon and detached analysis. He concluded in From Dawn to Decadence that "history cannot be a science; it is the very opposite, in that its interest resides in the particulars".[23]

Sounds like a postmodernist to me

Yes, I think he's good. I'm not really endorsing the "contemporary art" = "bad" argument, I just wanted to help OP with some literature suggestions. What I think is cringe is the "new kitsch"-movement like the "art renewal center" and also Koons.

I fucking hate this book because it isn't even about the decline of Western art, it's some schizophrenic Twitter personality paraphrasing Evola on why everything new is bad and society is shit.

Not really. Isn't postmodernism defined by its antipathy to metanarratives? He's more of an anti-postmodernist.
