Neoclassical Vs Romanticism Art in the modern day:
In the modern day art, Neoclassical style is more visible in Architecture. To compare Neoclassical and Romanticism styles of art in the present time, it is easy to look into the field of architecture and get perfect examples. There are many famous buildings that are built in the Neoclassical style, like the Whitehouse, the Pentagon, etc. These are symmetrical, have long columns and other features which are typical of Neoclassical style.
In my opinion, Romanticism, which do no adhere to the strict rules of the art and give more importance to the emotion, is seen in the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. Falling Water also known as Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence, is a classical example that shows how Frank Lloyd Wright did not stick to the traditional aspects of architecture. The way he built the house on a waterfall and how the house blends with the surroundings reflects the nature and purpose of this masterpiece.
