RE: The Changing Face of Art and How People Perceive Art
The painting is very good. What I really love in old master paintings they tell us the story. I believe people that time tried to capture the moments from their lives and show it to others. There are many great artists in old Russian school, especially the time in the past during Tzar time. I just wanted to attach this painting that is the time when poor people were used to pull the ship against the stream of the river to earn pennies. The artist Iliya Repin worked so well on the expression of each person:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barge_Haulers_on_the_Volga
Digital Art has no story behind and cold, mayb e it fits to our modern time, who knows?

Barge Haulers on the Volga
Barge Haulers on the Volga or Burlaki (Russian: Бурлаки на Волге, Burlaki na Volge) is an 1870–1873 oil-on-canvas painting by artist Ilya Repin. It depicts 11 men physically dragging a barge on the banks of the Volga River. They are at the point of collapse from exhaustion, oppressed by heavy, hot weather.The work is a condemnation of profit from inhumane labor. Although they are presented as stoical and accepting, the men are defeated; only one stands out: in the center of both the row and canvas, a brightly colored youth fights against his leather binds and takes on a heroic pose.
