Im sorry im just saying making things perfect is much harder.....

If that's what you consider to be good art, then the artist is no more than a time-wasting camera. Sure, landscapes and still-lifes are pretty to look at, but they say absolutely nothing - unlike Mark Ryden's work. Art would be very dull indeed if it were all realism and realist-expressionism.
Don't get me wrong, I'd hang a Fragonard in my living room before a Dali (don't quote me on that) but I believe there's room for all kinds of art. Sweeping all non-realism art into the bin would be a tragedy.
