Beauty. It's something I don't see talked about that much anymore. Especially when it comes to art. Lately I've been thinking about the role of an artist in society. It's a never ending question. But it has do with beauty. Creating beauty, reminding people about beauty. With better art, this beauty is complex. Not the petals but it becomes the molecular structure of the work. The composition and the techniques used to create the work. Saturn devouring his Son comes to mind. Is this painting beautiful? It shows something most humans would call ugly. But it is beautiful because of it's composition. The decision was made to have a completely dark background. The whites of the eyes matching in colour to the torso of the son. The sparing use of red. it all serves to communicate something ugly, and it's beautiful. Have I ever made something beautiful? I don’t know. But I have to get better at trying to make beautiful things. ![[Pasted image 20250520110101.png|300]] Tags: [[Art]] [[Beauty]]
