How To Demoralize Public Art
A compilation of ugly "art" in public spaces to remind us why we must Make America Beautiful Again
Comrades: Public art has devolved into demoralization.
All over America, ugly statues and murals assault our eyes and souls. They stand as taunts of the left’s power to invert inspiration and beauty. Victory in the counter-cultural revolution requires them to be replaced with real art. The scars of the 2020 summer of love, during which many legacy statues were torn down by red guards, must be healed. Restore our public squares to Make America Beautiful Again for a new golden age. Our artistic institutions like RISD have rotted under the reigns of commissars. They all view the examples below as gold standards that can never be criticized.
Feel free to add anything I missed in the comments.

Comrades: American capitalists have a responsibility to protect our civilization from communists.
Let's not forget architecture in the last 20 years.
I term it "mono-tecture" when it comes to commercial buildings.
I am currently reading Use and Abuse of Art, a series of lectures by Jacques Barzun. Very interesting and helps explain the current cultural moment. Having a biblical worldview makes understanding easier, as does training in "art", but probably still useful if those are lacking.

Any cultural production reflects the health of a society. I am not convinced anyone can make culture if they're atomised, as is happening to everyone who's mind has been turned to mush by the history of the past 100 years and the rise of advanced tech.
