Owlor 🦋@Stoori I predict that "people of the 21st century couldn't perceive color" is going to be the future version of "in the past, the world was in black and white", that is it's not going to be something widely believed, but it is gonna be a commonly cited tongue-in-cheek explanation of the apparent chromophobia of our era.
@Owlor hah yea, sounds plausible when looking modern interior pics :D

Marcus@marcusboden ”some dude on x” i guess
Zeborah@marcusboden It's a joke, referring to ancient Greek and Roman statuary etc which we're used to thinking of as pristine white marble but which turn out to originally have been painted in super-bright colours.
Sadly Brutalism was in fact always brutally boring.

NEPŘÁTELSKÉ EMOCE 🇺🇦🇨🇿@Stoori With cerise lips and auburn hair, crimson cloak and tunic, and details on his armour picked out in maroon and electric blue, Caesar Augustus raises his right hand in the air. He resembles, as the art historian Fabio Barry unhappily commented to the Washington Post in 2008, ‘a cross-dresser trying to hail a taxi’.
Jenny Fx@Stoori in upper Manhattan, all the prewar buildings have elaborate mouldings, gargoyles, fruit and other ornaments and over the years most have been painted to match the brick but I'm sure they used to be gold and colorful, I think it's just that people have only seen black and white photos that they assume they were always plain and dull.

@Stoori I wasn't expecting a minoic joke this morning 🙂
Toke Riis Ebbesen@Stoori This is really funny!
It does remind me though, that Danish functionalists (pre brutalism) were in fact using more colours than is generally believed.
@tokeriis cool! and also, in many brutalist buildings the insides were sometimes painted in very strong colours. so there's more truth to the meme than at first thought!
BeeCycling@tokeriis @Stoori There's a really interesting Functionalist housing estate in Newcastle upon Tyne, called the Byker Wall Estate, that was built while everything else was being built in Brutalist style. It's known for its distinctive use of colour. It still belongs to the council, used as social housing. And there are strict rules about having to use the exact colours of the original design during repairs and repainting. It's grade 2 listed now.
Corinna (versiffte Göre)@Stoori have seen a reconstruction of painted temple columns in a museum once and really adore this post
