I find it humorous that a man who's complaining about the ugliness of art has a last name which sounds very much like the most unattractive part of the male body.

First of all, architects are nothing without commissions. They design along the lines of what their clients want them to design. So blame the client, not the architect. Second, uniformly good taste is boring.  Like living in a theme park. You need some spices to bring out the flavor. As for the art, I'm a little more sympathetic to your view. The fundamental change happened when art became about "ideas". So if someones POS has a really good idea/story attached it might just sell or even get the artist a teaching job.

You cherry pick the best art of an era and the worst art of an era and you're gonna be able to say anything you want about either.
