The moment the painting moves (it gives a feeling of movement), it will lose its appeal as a painting. Then it can be replaced with other mediums. Videos and animation, for example.
Maybe back in the day before the invention of films and animation, this movement may have been considered the epitome of the specific medium. But now it is not. That is why still life is more important than ever now. It should be still. like frozen in time. Lucifer by Franz Von Stuck an example.
A painter is not there to capture a slice in time like the photographer does. He is not there to capture the moment. He is there to portray the moment, which is frozen in time for eternity.
