I Hate Modern Art.

Art and Architecture with Dr. McFarland is this: Look at the building/painting. What era is it from? What was important to people in this time? What was the artist trying to say? Is the artist important, or the patron? Where did its ideas come from? and so forth. I've been doing all right, although sometimes I bemoan my long lost ability to look at a building and think, "PRETTY!". Now all I can think is, "Wow, they really botched the neo-classic in this. It looks much more historicist." and other such boring things. Which makes me sound too big for my britches.
