The Palace of Fine Arts



My favorite part of this architecture is in the third image. At the top of the columns you can see four women at each corner of the box. These women are leaning over covering their faces because they are weeping. The reason the artist depicted them weeping to describe a world without art. I really like this concept and the fact that most people wouldn't think that the women are weeping about this idea, instead one has to really know the artist to find the true meaning. I also think its cool that this idea that the artist created these statues on may have never been discovered by outside people.
