Photography Makes Art a Lost Form

The origins of photogrophy were within paintings and art. Before the actual image of a photograph was ever seen. While the invention of photography and its uses were not only amazing, but important, both in history and through today. It is still to be noted that technology like this has caused art, in particular paintings to become a lost "art," no pun intended. The great artists of the past are house hold names, Michaelangelo, Leonardo DaVince, etc. Can anyone really name a true artist today? A Famous painting from the last twenty years? The answer to that is No. I can't realy determine whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but while Photography is a good thing, nobody really considers lost parts of life, some beatiful thigns, we will never see because people will no longer paint when there is no money in that, while ther eis plenty of cash in pressing a button and seeing an image digitally.
