It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

"A temporary dip"

I suppose that's where we really disagree: Movements like serialism and cubism, like all movements, do appear and then eventually fade away, but for me their impact is long term. Serialism was a notable step in a long term trend in decreasing importance of keys and tonal centers. Cubism was a notable step in a long term trend away from the importance of accurate or even recognizable depictions of specific objects recognizable from everyday life and towards abstraction. There is still music where key is very important, in fact it still is in most music. There is still art that is not abstract, maybe most art. But the era, from the Renaissance until the late 19th century, where certain traditional keys and scales reigned supreme in all Western music, and Western art had to accurately depict directly recognizable scenes from life, is over.
I love Dufy's work, btw.
