Art

I used to think that no one could paint pictures very well until the Renaissance came along and photo realism became a thing.  I mean this is just awful, and it was this bad for 100s of years. 


But look at stuff from the ancient world.  The West just forgot how to paint good.

    Part of what we see as the cartoony nature of early Medieval art is that that was the style. Much like Cubism, Modernism, Garbagism and all the other -isms that don't look like Renaissance or Pre-Raphaelite art.

    A lot of that style of art has the primary characters larger than others, thus highlighting their 'greatness.'

    All that, and, yeah, the art sucked, m'kay.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
