My favorite painters are:
- John Singer Sargent. I have Man Wearing Laurels on my wall.
- Bryan Larsen
My favorite characteristics in buildings, and some buildings:
- American Art Deco
- Glass curtain walls on skyscrapers
- The main branch of the Cambridge, MA, public library
- The Chrysler Building
- One Vanderbilt in NYC
- Grand Central Station
- Clean lines
- Regarding ornamentation on something like La Sagrada Familia, or any building really: it looks pretty to my eye for one second before I wish someone smoothed everything out nice and clean.
I do not like Brutalism.
