I'm not sure Christopher Tolkien is complaining about any one specific art style...

As far as I can tell, his problem is that a single style has been so influential that it has taken over. I have a feeling that Christopher Tolkien might not have been happy even if it was Nasmith's style that was used for the film. I think Christopher Tolkien wants a diversity of art styles to flourish. That's how I interpret it, anyway. That website is interesting. So many of those seem to be similar just because they're both based on the book. I think the website would be more persuasive if they compared the shots to work by other artists. If the different depictions are very different from each other and yet the movie always tends to use Nasmith's, I'd be more convinced by that. As is, not so much.
all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us...

I admit that my Middle-earth was shaped by Alan Lee's paintings,

I found it interesting that Christopher Tolkien cited John Howe and Alan Lee

They got the harbor right, and the ship style, and the direction and the time of day...
