Arcadian: Slightly behind the new forms. A return to simplicity.

With the rush of modernism, arcadianism always has room for celebration… Our culture quickly shifts from old to new, and back again.

Case in point, fashion. Look at how trends change over time.

To me, painting is combination of an arcadian act and modernism. Although the act of painting has been around for tens of thousands of years, all the way back to the cave paintings; over time it has morphed and adapted to provide cultural commentary throughout all of our modern lives.
