The reasons are discussed why in our time the possibilities of realistic painting and are lost the traditions of modern realistic artists.

Many until reading the book did not think about how it is actually difficult to block an unnecessary element in the picture. It turns out that paints lose their brightness and color from mixing, so sometimes the artists leave errors and inaccuracies on the canvas, just not to rule on the already drawn.
