SHOULD ART BE BEAUTIFUL
Pastoral monument 6, Dacus Carota, 2012 Helen Sear
There is no given reason why art should be beautiful. It is both in the eye of the artists or in the eye of the viewer as to whether an image is beautiful or not beautiful.
Personally I enjoy beautiful art and would not have anything in my home hanging on the walls if I did not think that it was beautiful.
This image is beautiful. The colours are soft and appealing, it is both graceful and elegant at once, the composition is aesthetically pleasing, it is a very easy image to view. It has a Vermeer feel to it; the emotive beauty of an old masters' painting.
But no, there is no reason I can think of that art should be beautiful, it is merely taste and preference.
