70s Pothead Aesthetics, Meet Austrian Art

"Fantastic Realism" in this case a synonym for "like nothing you've ever seen before and, if you're lucky, never will again"? Okay, I can deal with that. I'm all for works of wildly provocative artistic rebellion. By "all for", though, I mean "in support of intellectually", which isn't the same as "like".

Did you get a sense from anyone you met that anyone was actually *enjoying* what they were seeing? Or am I being blinkered in suggesting there's a difference between Enjoyment and Appreciation, if you will? (It's quite possible I am).

Also - in saying it makes you hungry - good point. Architecturally, eeeuuuuww. But if you said "that's mostly marzipan up there" I'd have fallen in love with it.
