      why is realism the only good art?

      Half-joking. Of course there's great non-realist art.

      More realism tends to look better to me, because more abstract/cartoonish tends to look cruder/uglier/blockier, ala Adult Swim. I don't have an art background, so this is neither an educated nor very serious opinion and I probably just lack the words to describe my preference well.

      we should just take pictures at that point

      Pictures capture what's already there. Art lets you create something new.
