Wow, what a bunch of didn’t happen.

Art has always valued technical skills, however some artists do not need to be particularly technical to convey artistic meaning.

Banksy is a technical artist who also uses creative meanings on his art itself.

Jono (charcoal artist) is HIGHLY technical, has art pieces that are probably more detailed than a literal photograph.

Thomas Schaller, Colin Thompson, and many many many more famous artists with excellent technical skills, all very favored.

Bob Ross teaches beginner’s level technical skills. That means that we can all make our own paintings. It means that it isn’t often expensive to buy those pieces because we can make them. He was teaching people how to paint, that still makes him completely relevant to the art world. It’s just not exactly mentally stimulating once you already know how to paint all those pieces - often artists do things called studies, and then they move on to the next study.

Btw the entire point of those churches and paintings was so the common person felt overwhelmed and unworthy. It wasn’t made for love per se, it was made to give an image of power and divine right.
