Beauty

Everything has beauty but not everyone can see. (Confucius)

If a half-dozen viewers were to examine an abstract painting, there would probably be at least six different opinions about its beauty and worth. One of the critics would very likely judge that it isn’t even art. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” they say. It would be helpful if we could teach art appreciation and if we could find some kind of common ground to make judgments.

From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance. (Psalm 50:2)
