Oh, sure they do. I was reading about the history of impressionist and post-impressionist painting the other day. One of the big arguments were about the academic painting vs. modern painting. Works of the Impressionists (Monet, Van Gogh) and Expressionists (Gauguin, Cezanne) were looked down upon as unfinished, lacking proper detail and laizy.
Academic painters paid a lot of attention to details, design principles and the rules of academic painting.
Sounds familiar?
