Reading Reflection written December 2021
The relationship status of beauty and art is currently complicated, but there’s still hope for reconciliation.
What are the thoughts of more artists (not just the well known ones) as to the condition of beauty and art’s relationship? Is this something that other artists consciously think of as much as me? I’ve found through reading this, I’ve gained insights into why artists create what they create. The interviews in this book are worth holding onto. There’s always viewing an artist’s artwork online or experiencing it in the flesh, but reading the interviews of artists (or casual letters) is a new thrill for me. I think reading an artist's thoughts is as stimulating as experiencing their tangible works. This book provokes so many questions, simmering in the back of my mind. I’ll just have to remember they are there so they do not burn.
Read this book when you are curious about how different artists approach beauty. Read again and again when you want to soar throughout the universes that best encompass beauty.
