" There is other modern(e) art that I admire also, the EMD E-8 locomotive, designed in the 1930's plus many appliances and furniture from the 1950's. "

Excuse me, but that is NOT art- it's Industrial Design!

Well, I guess you're right, it's not "fine art" like Picasso did. Still, it's art IMHO. But don't Industrial designers still often have an eye for beauty? (I know, these days, beauty and art are incidental). I know architects do, architecture is often considered to be fine art, though it strikes me as closer to industrial design.

BTW, my son is considering law school in San Diego, a long ways from our home in FL. What do you think of the area?
