There is so little real art left. Most of it is hollow and fake, meant for hollow and fake people that are headed into the trash can of history. Statues of serious men and real heroes were torn down to be replaced by statuary featuring little girls and big fat ugly black women - conveying an uninspiring fake message, apparently. Statuary that celebrates ugliness, for people incapable of aspiring to beauty.
It shouldn’t be that hard at first glance - but the pros always make it look easy. Clay is splattered with careless abandon onto a wire frame - and a goddess emerges. Wind and kinetic poetry in motion is flawlessly rendered and inferred in the static stillness.
Our greatness is not dead. It’s stifled, perhaps? Maybe it hibernates? It will emerge again when the small people of our age are finally swept away.
The beautiful architecture died out, My Opinion, because of The Bottom Line. Corporate profits became more important than creating something beautiful. Am I right or just a cynical, gripey old fart? Search vestal virgin tuccia and veiled virgin sculpture Lace veils on granite heads. How the heck is that even possible?
The Vision of the artist creating the windswept hair is enough for me to appreciate their artistic mind. Turning that vision into such a realistic representation? That is real art. And I agree that Art has generally gotten less attractive.

Mostly, (((They))) went with brutal, oppressive, block architecture, for stifling and suppressing the human spirit. Bucks was a secondary bonus.
