>in its flowering time the Grecian Art was conservative, because it was a worthy and adequate expression of the public conscience: with us, true Art is revolutionary, because its very existence is opposed to the ruling spirit of the community.
Is this still true?

Who the fuck cares. Whether one chooses to be classical or revolutionary, the main thing is to avoid cliches and trite overdone forms of expression while capturing the human soul. There are crappy conservative creators and crappy revolutionary creators. Usually classicists are the ones focused on regurgitation of well worn forms as aesthetic philosophy though
