“And why do so many art critics and historians no longer consider the judgment of beauty to be a valid exercise?”
• I didn’t know that was true… Beauty is such a huge part of life. People judge, there is no way around that. So why isn’t it valid?
“Modernism in particular is reproached for rendering beauty outmoded, for sending the beautiful into “banishment” or “exile” so as to promote the experience of the sublime.”
• This is a good way to describe modernism. I don’t think it’s bad to put beauty aside, in order to explore something else.
“Whereas this total collapse of the difference between copy and original requires an entirely new category of cognition and conceptualization, contemporary musing on the beautiful…”
• This is very interesting. I have always wondered if we will be able to get back to natural and true beauty. Rather than photo editing pictures to make them look ideally beautiful.
