WHAT IS BEAUTY?
Reading Tolstoy's What is art?
It says:
"...the object of aesthetic knowledge is Beauty. Beauty is the Perfect (the absolute), recognized through the senses....the aim of beauty itself is to please and excite a desire".(chapter III pg. 17)
I tend to agree and disagree. For me beauty is something else than perfection. Beauty may not be a general applied term. I consider beautiful the unique and bizarre. What I consider perfect is imperfection. That is what pleases and excites a desire in me.
Just cared to share a bit of what has been on my mind this morning.
