I've heard that modern art was a response to proliferation of photography.

There's already a device that can capture faces and landscapes in seconds so what's the point in painting them. So this gave rise to expressionism, cubism, abstract art etc.

Don't know of this is true or pop culture myth.

I'm certain it would have been a factor.
