I remember thinking that the Kansas Monument at Vicksburg was very strange, and not in a good way. It looked like some postmodern thing a kid in a high school shop class could have knocked together.

"The Sphinx" by Martin Milmore always struck me as odd. In Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA. He was responsible for many more traditional and finely sculpted soldiers' monuments. It seems it was more the vision of man who commissioned it than the sculptor's. Not sure it works. https://mountauburn.org/sphinx/

To me it is the Louisiana State Memorial at Gettysburg . I've heard it is supposed to represent St. Barbara and that it is by a renowned sculptor , but to me it is just plain disturbing . Huge feet , odd proportions , it is definitely unusual.

I love this monument. I think it's stunning. Though I get what you are saying about disproportionate elements. Sometimes these things can make an image even more captivating.

General Longstreet on his horse at Gettysburg is unusual. That rear hoof is not right and the poor steed looks like it is groaning (... phew! I am too small for old Pete")
