The Death of Art (theory)

The "Death of Art" is a theory suggesting that traditional art's role and significance have diminished in the modern era due to rapid technological advances and shifting cultural values. It argues that art no longer holds the same societal authority or cultural influence as it did in the past, being replaced or overshadowed by mass media, digital content, and new forms of expression. This idea questions whether art can maintain its traditional notions of originality, beauty, and meaning, or if it has fundamentally changed or become less relevant in contemporary life.
