Questions about the end of art theory in art history?

Art history will not end, and easel painting will not withdraw from the stage of history.

1 The "abuse of beauty" in postmodernism is the deconstruction of traditional art, but its intensity is currently not enough to complete the reconstruction of its own tradition, which will inevitably bring about the return of traditional aesthetic concepts. Just like in the Middle Ages, all the beautiful classical art was wiped out, but the Renaissance still emerged.

2 The existence of art forms does not apply to the theory of evolution. Art can only be better than bad. At most, it can be said to be right or wrong. There is no new or old. The traditional Chinese art is empirical. Historical masters often directly follow the ancient sages, calligraphy can follow the Jin and Tang Dynasties, paintings may be from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, etc.

3 Art theory should not be linguistic. After all, no worldview methodology can predict the changes and development of the world. The macroscopic "spirit of the times" and "characteristics of the times" cannot be related to specific individuals. Events “correspond one to one. Otherwise, the planned economy would have been established long ago.
