Yer takin this to WAY too high a level--it isn't
objective, it isn't subjective, it's personal. And
there's beauty in the way a farm tractor
is engineered to efficiently do it's job, and in
the fit and relationship of it's component parts;
they aren't plastercine; you can't just mush the
parts together...they're solid cast iron, steel,
forgings, etc.., and only fit the way they do
because somebody engineered them to fit,
and therein lies their beauty. It is not an art

more 'functional art'; art that has TRUE merit,
whch is actual utility. Try to buy THAT in the
'Louvre', or any of those other stupid 'art' museums.
