What is beauty? What is art?

Question

Its for my paper.. I need What you think are its.. What you think beauty is.. and views on issues about it.

Answer 1

Is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is an opinion each of us have and some share with each other, but the common thing is judgement, we judge whatever it is in order to base whether or nots it's beautiful or not, most of the time, not always do we judge.

In my opinion.

Answer 2

Beauty is something that the eyes haven't seen...the ears haven't heard...the tongue hasn't tasted...the body hasn't felt...

BEAUTY is simply unimaginable...

BEAUTY is not what we see in our everyday life but which will surpass us once we experience Death .

Answer 3

G Beauty is what you like. Art is when you do something well for its own sake.

Answer 4

When beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, that is because use in this context it means that each of us has aesthetic values of what delights our senses; our values match our "world view."

But as objective beauty goes, it has to do with "qua" subject: in other words, if you are painting apples, the pleasing appearance of a ripe edible apples will be directly aligned with what is "apple qua apple."

"Qua" refers to a standard. The standard is found in the nature of the subject. Thus, if you are painting an apple, to be "qua apple" it should not have worm holes, or be bruised, or rotting--unless your standard is to paint contaminated food. Then you would paint "apples qua contaminated apples."

In other words, "qua" is the standard of the subject. If you wish to paint the beauty of a woman, is your standard to be the temporary cold sore on her lip? Or is the standard to be "that woman qua that woman," which would be that woman in all her best appearances whether you are doing a nude, a bridal picture, dancing, whatever. What ever is the best of the particular subject is the "beautiful" even if you are attempting only to capture her spirit. Maybe you don't do faces well, and somone else could paint her physical appearance much better than you. But if your standard is the spirit showing through the windows of her eyes, then you had better make certain that you paint her "spirit qua her spirit in her eyes."
