I’ll bet there was a point in time when someone could be heard saying:

“But maybe I just feel that Painting is in danger of forgetting and 
losing its roots which were based in some effort to capture a real 
moment, in favour of generative and non-real image making. That 
Painting is about "as it is" and not fantasy.”

Thank god photography came along and relieved painting of that duty.
Hasn’t photography borne that burden long enough?

If you love photography, set it free. 
If it comes back...

P.S. If it doesn’t return you can always hunt it down and kill it.
