It's a work of art. You put a picture on your wall..say a Matisse (and I've got a lot of really good art)....you look at it every day, then every other day....then it becomes wallpaper...sort of. (Louis XIV used to point out the Mona Lisa in passing, sort of downplaying it.
But put a piece of machinery out there..it's another story. My 16 ga. Reilly is not a collector piece but I just love looking at it; Ditto my old 1986 CJ-7 (now sold...sigh). People will say about the Washington Cathedral that it doesn't compare to Chartres, Notre Dame. Baloney...it was started in 1902 and the fact it was competed in the 20th century is amazing...it is worth viewing.
