Painting

I recently went to a place where paintings were sold and pretty much the only type of art was futuristic, mixed media stuff. I was sort of disappointed because I love classic style paintings. The bold colors and light/dark contrast in baroque period art was beautiful. Are the old styles dead for good?

I was looking at Paul Cezanne Oil Paintings:http://www.overstockart.com/cezannegallery1.html and I was wondering what others are thinking about his works? I feel the ambiguity of the scenes and I am not sure what are the feelings that Cezanne portays in his work... let me know your thoughts?

I have had an old painting for many years, I have just looked up the artist and could be worth up to $2,000, but I decided many years ago to brighten it up, so I put some oil paint accenting the leaves, mainly green color, lite green. How can I remove my paint accents without damaging the old paint. I do not think it is worth that much because the frame is not in excellent condition, but I could use some extra money now after Christmas. I would really appreciate anyone's opinion, if you know for sure, that is... Thank you.

Then, this painting was brought to some snooty art gallery (what they are so snooty about, the world may never know, since all they sell is garbage to a modern public that has very questionable taste). The gallery owner was asked about it and how much it could be worth. She said it looked like a Pollack and could be worth $500,000. She went on to praise the way pictures' "painterly brush strokes" were beautifully executed, and such. Within 3 minutes, she had taken on the smug air of a typical gallery dealer, as if she had a deeper understanding of this painting than most people. When she was finally told it was done by a chimpanzee she felt like an ***, and tried to look as dignified as possible.
There is something fundamentally wrong with a society that rewards "artists" that create meaningless crap that requires no skill, and arrogantly shuns skilled painters of realism that have studied painting, drawing and anatomy for years.
