I've seen a lot of renaissance sculpture and honestly the one on the right is more interesting to me at this point. Like, the pursuit of realism has a concrete end in any given medium. Absurdist abstraction is limitless.

The former displays mastery of skill and is inspiring + beautiful which should be what we optimize for Absurdist is inherently easier to create. It’s lowered the bar and helped mediocre talent get away with passing off neon-sharpie-feathers-macaroni-and-paste kindergartener level projects as pinnacle of art

I hear you but also what do you think of Picasso and his journey to the latter. Which, like many great contemporary artists (always rare) grinds painfully through the former.
