They were also something that most modern artists and writers are not: good.

I am quite sure there were a lot of bad contemporaries, but they never ended up in the history books.

One of the new genres that really impresses me, is 3D art. The art form is getting quite mature, and often requires as much work as any Dutch Master oil painting.

One of my favorite 3D renderings, is Worth Enough, by radoxist[0]. Nowadays, I'm sure that there are works that beat it, but it was quite amazing, when he posted it.

We have now pretty successful art creators like Alan Walker, but overall I dont see them ever being in the art history books.

Ppl also dont see art where it is in its pure form -Engineering.

In 100-300 years people will probably only know the names of the "good" modern writers and artists too.
