2. Should art be beautiful?
Well, here I'm gonna (= I'm going to) have to say "no" because I have seen many drawings and
sculptures that were definitely considered art, although I thought they were extremely ugly. Art must
create feelings; if it creates beauty, then it's even better, but it doesn't have to be beautiful. For
example, the Mona Lisa, for me, is not beautiful. However, the techniques, and the feelings it creates
when her eyes seem to follow you are stunning. It doesn't mean it's a gorgeous portrait. In addition,
beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder(=observer), so different people will disagree whether a piece
of art is beautiful or not. For example, I'm sure that some people really find the Eiffel Tower ugly.
It's art, though. And there are also some paintings that describe wars and dead people. They make
us react, and that's what art is really about.
