an interesting thing that i've realized through playing the sims: the art that i prefer to decorate a home with does not equal the art that i love.
what i mean by this is that while i'm putting a room together, and i'm considering all the lines and colors and shapes and cohesion of everything, 9 times out of 10 the classical portraits that i flock to at the museum do not work as well on the wall as the canvas with the paint splatters on a simple gradient background. it just doesn't. and part of me is upset about this because i am an absolute whore for baroque art. like, vermeer? gentileschi? bernini? render them unto me that i might gaze upon their beauty.
but would i put a copy of Judith Slaying Holofernes in my living room? no, it clashes with the upholstery.
too dark for the hallway.
sending mixed messages in the dining room.
so yeah, idk, having a big funky color block a la rothko has some aesthetic value on a day to day home use basis, and i'll probably die mad about it loll
