This is a tautology, no? There's plenty of great art being made today by people feeling the same emotions as those in the past.

Well "great" is rather subjective. But in terms of collective agreement we can conclusive say there really isn't anything like the art of the past made today. As an artist I was invited to a much vaunted exhibition in Venice itself recently. It consisted of a woman sitting in urine ...but with a kind message asking bystanders to please not poop in her tank.. The link if you fail to believe it.

Modern art and artists indeed do mirror the feeling of their age.
