forms of beauty

 

editorial

 

natural beauty brings us back to ourselves, refocuses and transcends
artistic beauty elaborates human matter, engaging you in experience
the work is co-creation, it takes place in between, in the space of encounter

 


Andy Goldworthy, © La Boîte Verte

 

 

beauty as a requirement
it requires time, space, full presence (and not discontinuity)

 

 

Ludwig van Beethoven, Geister trio, performed by the Wanderer trio

 


it engages the whole being

 

   Henri Matisse, graphite

 

 

beauty as a holding

something that brings together the scattered parts of oneself and the beings between them
that works the fabric of relationships

 

  San Marco, Venice, pavements

 

 

something that whispers in your ear, that straightens you up and goes deep down to find you

it opens up a space

beauty as resistance to the din, the commonplace, the pre-packaged, the by-product
a haven, a home, a resource

a respite

 

 

Cécile McLorin Salvant, Oh my love, John Lennon

 

beauty as an expression of love
