Back when color photographic film first hit the market, it was considered by many to be nothing more than a gimmick.  A passing fad which would quickly fade away -- leaving 'real' photography --which as everyone knows is done strictly in B&W -- to continue on forever.

It was a purist's-style attitude.

Purists are still with us today.  Many of them can be found in the 3D/CG world.  While others are found outside of that world, asserting that CG itself is a fake world.  I suppose that CG can be such........but not in the way that the canvas purists mean.  What the canvas purists fail to realize is that canvas-based art can be every bit as fake as any CG art.  It's just that the canvas-based emptiness is done in a way that can sit in someone's attic, collecting dust many years later.  At least you can hit the 'delete' key for CG-based emptiness.
