'I’m sure none of you live anywhere near our neighborhood and, from the aesthetic taste reflected by this eyesore, most of you would consider the Mickey Mouse statue at Disneyland to be fine art,' writes Robert Barth.
From my front lawn, just up the hill on 900 South, this thing appears to be more like a tacky come-on for a honky tonk carnival than a dignified piece of public art. I’m sure none of you live anywhere near our neighborhood and, from the aesthetic taste reflected by this eyesore, most of you would consider the Mickey Mouse statue at Disneyland to be fine art.
In fact, this thing is cheap and schlocky in every respect: materials, placement, scale, appropriateness to setting, and design esthetic. What a waste of public money and what a blight on our historic neighborhood your efforts have inflicted. I can’t wait until this monstrosity is covered with graffiti and attacked by vandals so that it can be removed for being an attractive nuisance and a hazard to public safety.
