Two Objects
Heracles, above. I don't recall the skull in the translations I've read.
Below, Roxbury International again. I keep looking at the airplane in the hanger. Its designers may have wanted it to be beautiful, but I'm sure they mostly wanted it to fly. I find it interesting that if you design something to fly, it's nearly certain to be beautiful.

Your comments on aircraft, fully agree. Nice capture

Have you ever seen a Fieseler Storch (stork), the ultimate rough short field aircraft? Something like it is still built in Poland by PZL. I think it is beautiful, but most probably wouldn't. You can see them at http://www.piteraq.dk/flight/storch.html

On Heracles; first it appears that the object neither appealed to the artistic or the romactic crowd, hence being relagated to the shed, and a triumph over death explains the skull to my mind.
