Contemplation {Beauty in Art}

“Beauty is the raison d’être of fine art. It is not conceived as a commodity to be bought and sold, but as an act of philosophy. For beauty is the image of perfection. It reflects a universal harmony, as in it opposites are reconciled and particulars unified. Through beauty art achieves its catharsis; it puts order on the chaos of quotidian life.”
