Would an aesthetic of ugliness be aesthetically pleasing?
)
May 3rd, 2012
Suppose you wanted to make an artistic statement that challenged every notion of normalcy. You sought out the ugliest people you could find. You found the ugliest scenes in nature and in man-made environments. You challenged every notion of beauty you could find in every society that has a standard.
Do you think people could find beauty in ugliness? What would that mean? How would that work? Would we have to intellectually retrain our eye to see beauty in ugliness, or could it happen naturally, somehow? Do you have any examples of an aesthetic of anti-beauty that works for you or anyone you know?
