That’s probably more my bad photography skills. It actually looks quite appropriate in person, at least to me. But then maybe I also have weird art taste. 🙃

It definitely wasn't an issue with your photography skills - all of the art on the courthouse ground is incredibly mundane and literal.

Thanks for the reassurance, AoD. :)

Totally literal, but I kind of like that with the “law books”, given the context. The message being blatant was important, in my view. It’s less about art, and all about statement and reinforcement of values. It was the only art in the square that appealed to me though, to your point.
 
Thought I would give you all a day time and night time shot. Beautiful building IMO.

A sculpture of giant law books in front of the court house. Incredible...
Classical art is truly dead.

Province unveils $956-million downtown Toronto courthouse
