classicism is dead ?


so I started off studying classical art and architecture
and became something of a classicist

then I met someone in my twenties who turned me right around
and I became this very lefty woke person new age kind of thing
and thought that classicists were right wing

and now I have a bit of an identity crisis about it
because my classical stuff I really like some of what I did
and wonder if it still has any value for me
although the greek influences kind of bring it together
and I just noticed that I prefer Greek Architecture to Roman
they were more into their aesthetics

I believe when the Queen dies
that 100 odd years of British traditions are going with her ...
so that the classical influences will be more of a relic
and even the language is changing
from being mostly Latin influences with a bit of Greek and German
and Celtic

I wonder where Lady Gaga is with this stuff now
because she was also a classical artist and still is
when she does some operatic singing
but has mostly turned her influences to pop
