Art naturally proliferates as people have more free time. Right now we’re all overworked and overstressed, so much less art happens.
Compared to the 19th century?
Art tends to be better when people are miserable actually. Most great works were made when people weren't doing so hot.
We still create plenty of art, but you need to look for it. There are artists out there creating a lot of pretty things, find them and if you like their work... Buy something of theirs. I have plenty of little art pieces at home, even my drinking glasses are ones that I am terrified of losing because they're all custom made and far prettier than anything I see in stores stocking mass-produced stuff. They do freak some people out a bit though, because they're spider themed.
Happy Cake Day!
