Today
I guess what I find interesting is how many artists today focus and produce only landscapes or portraits. I grant that many landscape painters can't draw well enough to do portraits and many will say so directly. But in the past artists painted everything. I'm thinking of Da Vinci, Rembrant, David, Bouguereau, Benson, Paxton, Sargent, Chase, on and on. It seemed the norm rather than the exception. What changed? And was the change for the better?
