We don’t think of the history of art as a history of technology. Van Gogh, Cezan

We don’t think of the history of art as a history of technology. Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gaugin, Picasso sought the primacy of style and cheap fast production. (VG painted 200 in his last two years.) All ‘bad artists’ by my judgement. But one of many 19thC stylistic revolutionaries.
