I wasn't aware that modernism welded anything shut, though certain
modernists placed constraints on themselves, and some wrote manifestos.
Nerdrum is certainly successful, but I think there's not much there
there. Two painters who use the conventions and techniques of
classical European realist painting more tellingly are the late
Gregory Gillespie (check Google Images) and the young Mexican artist
Hugo Crosthwaite (http://www.hugocrosthwaite.com/, and an amazing
minidoc on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0guLRCtNTs).
