Answer:
religious significance in art in the modern world
Explanation:
Monuments of older eras such as Verrocchio and Rodin were almost always sculptures placed on pedestals to allude to holy or biblical importance, with those depicted meant to be looking down on the viewer to inspire awe. modern monuments such as the Burnham and pentagon pavilions tend to be built on the ground, down to earth so to speak as it is either referring to historical events and sacrifices in which holy grandeur is inappropriate and unnecesarry; or modern concept art that has no real event behind the concept and is instead an exploration into an idea or concept to see if it can be done.
It is essentially an indicator that we have passed the era where religious significance and tone are taken into account for the viewer and are instead grounded in an atheistic reality. As we as a society no longer regard figures of great accumen as a person sent on a spiritual mission concquest etc.
