It starts with Van Eyck and his plastic way of moduling with paint.His paintings are realistic even more real than "realists" of the 17th century. His perspective drawing with incredible touchness of the subjects created are far "the most iresistable.
After Van Eyck I would place Vasarely as an opposite companion on the abstract field. Vasarely has also the multiple fine aftertouch of a true 15th century painter. Only this master Hongarian wizard, creates mind-games on mostly extreme geometric boards.
After the modernism period and also the post-modernism stumble, being today, things lay very difficult for contemporary artworks. Maybe the post modernism period was a search for unfilled holes with a very self-experimental sauce.What's left for us today?
