If you are a modern artist, then you are enmeshed in a set of concerns about what painting is or what it should be. And these “concerns” have developed over time: the concerns of Piet Mondrian might seem somewhat silly to an artist of 2010. On the other hand, traditional artists—Duccio, Memling, Hals—created images for viewers.
