Is Late Roman art a decline in art compared to Greek Art? Or is it an important step towards Medieval Art?
I agree that art was becoming something else. It began to be used for social and political propaganda without much regard for actual skill and artistry. It actually reminds me of Ancient Egyptian Art a little because of the importance of the message being sent by the work.
It's only a decline if you judge art on its veristic quality. In most cases where art does not conform to some sort of idealized perfection it is not a matter of the artist not being able to attain that perfection, but rather that the merit of the piece is based in something less aesthetic. Late Roman art is generally not as "perfect" as either classical Greek art, Hellenistic art, or earlier Roman work. I personally do not find late Roman work very appealing. However, the purpose of art was moving away from what it had been to something where idealization was less important than iconographic content. I therefore do not think it's fair to say that late Roman artwork represents a decline in art.
