Majority of new Masters will be American and Chinese

Only leading countries can support their art at the world's top level. Only through industrialization, a leading science, and top militaries can countries afford to be culturally advanced. USSR put its own computing industry in the casket, claiming that this strategic industry had lost to American industrialists. Nobody puts Olympic teams in the caskets after a half-successful performance at the games. What is happening now in Russia and Ukraine is the result of this criminal decision. The world should be more evenly developed and less criminalized. Putin, Vladimir, you are fighting the wrong war. You have to fight for the education and well-being of your nation; the more successful you are inside Russia, the more nations will join you as allies and supporters. You are wrong. Your failure is in the disbanded computing/robotics industry, which is supposed to be at the core of educated and contemporary Russian elites.

Forget the USSR; let's celebrate the American and Chinese victories! More hardworking nations deserve to be on top. But I also admit nobody needs this conflict going on in Ukraine. More peace, more life.

Historically, Western Europe has claimed most cultural victories, not Russia, not even close. Maybe Russian art was closer to world-class during the Peredvizhniki era and the Revolution of 1917. During the middle and late Soviet times, USSR art did not show much significance. Many successful Soviet artists, like Mihail Chemiakine and Ernst Neizvestny, lived and worked in Western countries.

Only if humans will compete with AI in image making. User-generated collages on all themes is more engaging and personalized than anything that is usually catered by Masters. Google Image library has so much for everyone that even Picasso with his tens of thousands artworks failing to compete. We will live in quite interesting time when many professions will be retired and freedom will become absolute freedom. To learn, to practice, to party.
