Yeah, I'm not super ornate. I like Federal Architecture. Tudor style houses, clean lines, etc.
However when it comes to statuary, paintings, etc. anything before beats the living shit out of modern art.
Not only is Boston City Hall a monument to vile Brutalism but across the street is the Government Services Complex, which is almost as shitty.
What a pleasant place to have a picnic.
I do have to say given the choice between Brutalism and the "Post-modern" Aqua Building or Container houses, I'll take the latter. At least they look like they were built by humans, and not by the Cybermen or the Fungi From Yuggoth.
I got into med school at UIC, but one reason I didn't go was the people interviewing me telling me stories about getting mugged going to or from their cars.
By black people, of course. Why is it so utterly forbidden to talk about the obvious reality that black people commit violent crime at vastly higher rates than any other group?

MCM for the win. Art, I don't care so much about. We'll have a ranch and basement. The mismatched art and knicknaks will go in the basement or garage. I want the main level clean. I really don't want anything on the walls.
Statues are gay. Never understood them. They're generally overdone for people to make them look better. As in not realistic. Modern art is lazy art. I wouldn't put it in my house but a lot of the famous ones 1920 or earlier are good if you get a print. I don't have millions for original art.
