No. It has changed.
The technical expertise remains or has even advanced, the tools and media has improved. If you look, you can find amazing art anywhere but most people get caught up in the notion 'modern art' is shit- despite not even knowing what modern art is.

define "art"
define what it means for art to "decline"

Only integrity

Depends what you mean, as there are different approaches to take. For instance, as time has progressed there are more people with the ability to create art, which increases the disparity in the quality of the best, average and worst art
Bentley Martinez
I think not. Remember your average peasant didn't see more than maybe a few statues in his entire life unless he lived in a major city. Not only do we still have classical sculptors but we have stuff like Zootopia where we have meshed art with technology and rendered graphics so detailed that the render farm for that movie used more power than the town I was born in.
Of course mediocre art propagates better because media is more rapid and transferable, but that was going to be the case anyway. If good taste were the norm, it wouldn't be a compliment.

I'd like people to realise the absurdity of this position in the same way that people saying likewise about music are mocked. Admittedly there are greater accessibility issues with visual art, a larger proportion of music will not be harmed by or would benefit from listening to a studio recording, whereas a more limited range of visual art is made to be viewed remotely.
Alexander Young
Kind of. I would say that art in the western world started during the Bronze Age and that it was on a consistent upwards until the dark ages where you got all those shitty pieces of art only about Jesus and then it picked up gain during the Renaissance and eventually reaching the modern day which is still mostly good, although a lot of pieces of art that are low quality or requiring almost no effort to make such as Andy Warhol are prominent.

No, it's just that now everyone can subject the entire world to their (((art))) through social media.
