Sorry.

Because I meant this work of art:


[tab]Actually, it should look like this:

No. There is not only the classical style. And the rest is not only the same thing. There are many styles.

Do you have a favourite style(s)?

I’d say, that mine are definitely… Gothic/Gothic revival, Regency, Victorian, Georgian, and then… the North, East, Europe, the rest of the world.

Yes, I have several favourite styles.

I just don’t like the new styles, because they simply no longer have anything to do with aesthetics in the positive sense (beauty), but only in the negative sense (ugliness, destructiveness - and the excuses for this are also ugly and destructive).

Gargoyles and Grotesques? not all Olde artistic creations are beautiful, but I appreciate and admire them none-the-less.

Bigger structures… like buildings and cities, are more difficult to hide One’s distaste over… I’m quite un-keen on the design of the UAE cities and states… far too arrogantly-opulent for my more ‘pared down’ tastes.

Where can this church be found? In England?

I’ll get back to you on that, but what of the gargoyles and grotesques and arrogantly-opulent towns and cities?

All Saints Church in Hereford, England, from what I read.

The church was built in the 1300’s but the carving was only noticed when an additional floor was added (for a restaurant, I think) and this was discovered that during the restoration. I wonder if it supposed to tell us something about the church’s priest?.. or perhaps the sculptor was saying he was fucked over by the church?.. or he might have tripped – almost falling to his death – and saw this I’m-fucked-image flash past him? Believing it was a message from God, he felt compelled to carve it?

.

One does indeed wonder what it was that prompted the carver, in his design of that carving.

Perhaps it was simply a prank, to defile the sanctity of the church that he was hired to help build… I had wanted Alf to reply to my last inquiry to him, before moving forward into that, tho.

Maybe - but really just maybe - the one you call „the church’s priest“ wanted it that way himself (?). :-k

I doubt it.

Gargoyles and Grotesques are expressions before modern times and therefore fine.

I completely agree with what you said about the “design” of the UAE.

Gargoyles and Grotesques are expressions before modern times and therefore fine.

I guess the reasons behind Architecture/Art/Design, change over time/with the passing millennia, centuries, and decades… the natural, being replaced by man-made technological materials.
