The death of art is a term or a phrase used to describe an event or an action done by an individual
artist or collective
society (mostly by mindless consumerism) to strip away the identity or the
basic principals of art for corporate monetary gain. It is important to note that this is the most
basic explanation of the term and Its use may not always comply with
the one written above. In conclusion, the use of the term is subjective.
To understand how the term "The Death of Art " can be subjective, we have to look at some examples that
stray from the
mainstream portrayal of art. For example, recently there was a rising wave of popularity of music, painting, and other multimedia that on the surface doesn't possess any meaning, emotion, or technical skill. For some, who prefer art to have complex storytelling, a wide range of well-executed ideas, and overall cohesiveness, they might consider mindless enjoyment of media that sole reason for existing is to exist, to be the death of art. Others might find over-sexualization in media to be harmful to the quality and
respect of the art those artists produce. But maybe the most objective way "The Death of Art" can be used in is a situation where art itself is disrespected by acts of plagiarism, making a profit by manufacturing success and manipulating the public. Some newest Drake discography and Justin Bieber "Yummy" scandal can be named as recent examples.
tl;dr - the death of the art is in the eyes of the beholder.
