I have not seen the Angel of the North, but I take issue with the idea
that it is not artistic merely because it is not pretty. As I
understand it, the statue is beside the A1, or Great North Road, and
dominates an urban landscape. I think that you would find all sorts
of ways to include it in an artistic photograph; stark or forbidding
perhaps, but artistic nevertheless.
Cheers
