[QUOTE="dick bird, post: 948788, member: 93571"] "If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it". Sorry, stole that from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. But seriously, Baroque is unappealing to modern eyes: garish, over-decorated, melodramatic and furthermore mainly financed from the uncontrolled looting, theft and melting down of Inca and Aztec gold artefacts. Not only that, they also had absolutely no regard or respect for the work of earlier periods. But alternatively: intricate, superbly crafted, a glorious tribute to human ingenuity and vision, magnificent, and unashamedly camp (plus they had great music). Fashions change. We need to respect and conserve as much as we can of our heritage even if it does clash with contemporary orthodox notions of what things should look like. At one time, Romanesque was seen as crude and semi-barbaric. And as for tearing down the façade on Santiago cathedral, no, no, a million times no. Just one little quibble about the article, Romanesque, 13th century, - really? [/QUOTE]
