    Of course im sure the argument can be made for both cases, i can recall several clear examples of de-skilling in impressionism. An often overlooked one is a sculpture done by degas in which he used a pre-fabricated tutu for the ballerina. The very nature of impressionism illustrates the my point. The impressionists were often criticized for painting like amatuers or having a less formal more crued manner of painting which made being an "artist" less of a skill or craft as it was seen in those times.
