The Industrial Age allowed painters to abandon church art, paint what they want, meeting initial resistance from an ignorant public conditioned to portraits, depiction of saints. Renoir, Picasso, Warhol, once scorned, reviled, became old masters secure in art history, hot items at auctions where works they gave away for practically nothing sell at record prices to the vulgar applause of tasteless audiences.
