What is good
art?... I have come to the smug conclusion 'It is what ever I
think I like at the time'. This view might be a tad
controversial as my knowledge (not to mention
ability to produce the stuff) is not in the top echelons
of world thinking...but who cares.
Here is a
sample of some of the work I observed and was able to photograph in
Rome. My favourites were all modern >>> the graffiti and the
stations of the cross from the church of St Nicola (incidentally
a church built on & using the pillars of pagan temples ).
At the other
end of the scale is the bit on the left, it is from the outside of
the 'Church of the Dead', OK I suppose in its context, but not
something I would want to live with.
One of the
most striking recurring themes was the richness of the church
ceilings, all gems of quality and over the top style. In summary
Rome has a huge range of style, quality and quantity>>> mostly
a pleasure to look at. |
