Turned into a public entertainer while the heavy shadows of Titian and Goya covered his dreamsThe concept of beauty is not as many think a component of the work of art and it is certainly not defined by objective parameters. But it remains a necessary component of our lives since it adds to our various actions and to the objects that surround us a dimension of personal choice based on nonutilitarian criteria. What surprises and saddens me in our current world is not that the perception of beauty has changed something like this is not only expected but also desirable but that it no longer seems to be necessary. No one is looking for it.
I don't know if the great painter Balthus was right when he gave his opinion about the century that closed saying that it was the century where everything buildings nature clothes became uglier but I certainly believe that for everything the beautiful now plays the lesser roll. I remember a few Singapore Phone Number List years ago the observation of a young friend when he decided to change the decoration of his shop that he had to be careful not to make it nice. The desired style was random. But if on the one hand the beautiful is displaced and indeed with a view as an oldfashioned perception on the other hand that of the majority who do not deal with the luxury of aesthetic options the view of the functional and the immortal dominates.

It is indeed a fact that the prevailing perception of everything that constitutes our surroundings houses objects etc. has to do with how convenient things are and how long they will last over time. The dimension of beauty no matter how subjective we accept it has no place among the criteria that shape the choices and when it does it occupies the last one. The modern craftsman like the modern consumer will almost always use arguments related to the lifespan of the object often even specifying it in terms of time with numbers that far exceed any normally expected lifespan immortal.
