Beauty and Truth

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty
That is all ye know on earth
And all ye need to know."
(Keats - Ode on a Grecian Urn)
Unfortunately, this simply isn't true. There are plenty of ugly truths and beautiful lies.

Intention
1 min read
What separates a work of art from random junk? First, to my mind, art must be created with intention. A mass of colors on a canvas might be considered art only if the one who placed them there did so with intention, and with such intention sought to express something. Random, mindless beauty is not art, per se—it is simply beautiful junk. And without intention, even beautiful junk is just that... junk.

Great art

Great art is often born of great pain, wherein the artist cares little for the art, per se, but rather as a vehicle to bear away some of the pain.
