Ha, I've never meet a conservative who didn't identify neo-classical enlightenment art and architecture as not only the pinnacle of high art, but quite possibly the only legitimate form high art.

And it's not even classical art they like; it has to be neo-classical. Take them Washington D.C. and watch them gawk in awe at the colonnades, porticoes and giant dome cupolae and all the marble statuaries and crap. But take them to Greece or Rome and they will fidget about skeptically like a child who is forcing down his vegetables.

Sometimes they do have a bucolic sentiment that appears a bit romantic, but it is never the "terrific precipice of the infinite void" sort of high romanticism, more like populist volkskraft mixed up with Franklin, Burke and Dickens.

And a lot of liberals aren't really great with Modern art either, but that is usually because they are too undisciplined to develop genuine aesthetic insight, instead gulping down glossy Macintosh products, gauche continental coffees, Ikea furniture and collections of hand bags or whatever. .
