: What's left to express or to prove through ultra realistic painting?

What's left to express or to prove through ultra realistic painting?
Wonderful, and love poetry should have been abandoned after a poet wrote one about 5500 years ago, because "what's left to express?"
Or we should've stopped building houses because somebody already did it 10000 years ago. This absurd nihilism is the sadness of our age.
The question is not what's left to express through realistic painting, the question is :What can be expressed through non-realistic painting, period!
