If you're going to go on a holy crusade against ugly architecture, you should start with the Tour Eiffel. It's so sad that this has become the symbol of Paris.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower#The_.22Artists_Protest.22
>We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection … of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower … To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream. And for twenty years … we shall see stretching like a blot of ink the hateful shadow of the hateful column of bolted sheet metal.The "twenty years" is a reference to the fact that originally, the tower was supposed to only be allowed to stand for that period of time, after which it would be dismantled.
No.1247
>>1244the Eiffel tower is far enough away from other monuments for it to really be a problem. Also it has a sort of classical feel to it. The Louvre pyramid is just a huge slab of glass blocking the view of beautiful old architecture. I wouldn't care if was somewhere else.

>>1226>>1184The louvre looks pretty shitty itself. It's repetitive as hell, and the navy/off-white colorscheme is about as much of an eyesore as it gets. It's like they took solarized-light, and shat it all over a building, while completely ignoring that the sky is just enough away from blue to shit the colorscheme all up. Don't circle jerk over it just because it's old.
I'm sure we can all agree to bulldoze the stupid pyramid though. Even though it kind of does look cool at night.

That's the colour of the stone they used, that's the material that was being used at the time and not things like brick or mosaic.

In art, performance art is a performance presented to an audience, traditionally interdisciplinary. Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated; spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without audience participation.

>>2988
>MOST
It depends on the movement in question. I find most surrealism is pretty good, whereas most abstract expressionism is complete shit.
Take Kooning for example, his work is just a mess on canvas. Jackson Pollock was also an abstract expressionist, and likewise, his art is largely autistic hipster garbage
