For what it's worth, there is a large painting by Lempicka on display at the DeYoung Museum that has an eerily identical building as the backdrop for a glamorous portrait of a woman friend of the artist's. As metaphor, it was intended to suggest, deco-style, the apotheosis of the Modern Woman.
This is the ugliest one of 2024 in my opinion. It is a jail, however--ugliness is suitable.
Shouldn't we prefer that the ugliness not radiate outward?
I checked 2023 and 2022 since then. Still Grand Champion Ugly with no close rival. I am glad I do not live near there.
Agree wholeheartedly.
