LinkLinksOpinion Philip Kennicott in The Post: With most Trump appointees off the fine arts commission, Biden can put a progressive stamp on federal architecture By Editor On May 27, 2021 Last updated May 27, 2021 24 Share By the time President Donald Trump left office in January, he had appointed all seven members of the Commission of Fine Arts, a federal design oversight body that has shaped the nation’s capital and federal architecture since 1910. All were White men, more or less devoted to what was termed “classical architecture.” The group had not been less diverse since 1963, the last time it was all male, and it had been at least a decade since all its members were White. 24 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
