No, I didn't; there were no arguments to comment on.

The 'Salon de Paris' organized an annual art exhibition.
When the so-called Impressionists (by then a hateful
name, coined by an angry critic) submitted their work,
the jury said: Sorry, these are no paintings. They are
just oil color wasted on canvas. Take them home, and
learn how to paint properly before you bother us again.
Do you really think you can ignore centuries of fine oil
painting? and the sound advice of our masters from
academe? You are just making fun of us. Goodbye.
What? No, forget about your open air nonsense,
and those vivid colors you claim to see everywhere
are just your eye problem. Visit with an ophthomologist.
You heard us, didn't you? Those are no paintings. Adieu.

I gather you're not aware that the Impressionists and those who came
after generally _had_ mastered the academic style, as students, and
their early training underlay all their later experiments and
achievements.

The Guggenheim's Jackson Pollock retrospective a few years ago begain
with a small room containing some student drawings, showing his
draftsmanship and naturalism were as capable as those of any of his
contemporaries who went in a different direction (such as Andrew Wyeth
or, heaven help us, Thomas Kknkade).

Though what that has to do with your inability to grasp the concept of
arguing for your position, I cannot fathom.
