There's a movement to return to traditional art and architecture. It's amazing, but I can't seem to the recall the name of the organization. They had beautiful paintings made by artists in the traditional art style.

Usually organizations that call for a "return to traditional art" are ostensibly simply seeking to boost the visibility of traditional styles. But if you engage with those organizations’ ideologues, it often doesn't take long for the mask to come off, and for the person to admit that he/she wishes for non-traditional art to disappear entirely. That seems very rude to that set of people out there (however small or large) who do enjoy avant-garde or modernist art, and who feel their lives would be poorer without it.
Not only that, but they often seem to be engaged in a larger cultural war where making art great again is just one front.

>but any talentless hack can do that. It's not art.
Ah Maurizio Cattelan, his work is meant to be amusing, absurd and surreal, here are some excellent sculptures from him:

Guess comedy and realistic sculpture are not talents either?
