The Beauty and Truth Behind Art

Art, beauty, and truth are three things that fit together to create an experience that is truly unique. As humans, we see truth and beauty in art. Artists and their audiences work together to create a magnitude of meanings for all forms of art that can be shared and appreciated by others all around the world.

In order to create art, an individual needs to see and experience the beauty the world has to offer. A painter needs to fall in love with the reflection of light, a musician needs to take in the sweet notes of a melody, a writer needs to become captivated by words, and a dancer needs to feel a beat in their bones. Once an artist becomes one with their art, beauty will be reflected in everything they create. They transform into the beauty they sense in the universe, and they transfer it to their works because it’s a part of them. This becomes their ultimate truth. It’s their reality; It’s who they are. They create, and in the process they reveal themselves to the critics of the world.

A work of art conveys an artist’s emotions and beliefs, and it’s up to critics to deduce the beauty and truth portrayed in it. Artists create works that are beautiful and hold personal truths, and the viewers discover the works themselves, creating a new and original idea of the beauty and truth that is seen in the pieces. These views may be different from that of the original idea of the artist, but this only adds more meaning to the work itself. The more ideas and opinions that are formed about a piece, the more depth and meaning the piece has.

The opinions formed by the observers and the artist’s initial feelings about a work of art make it beautiful and truthful in it’s own right. If a person sees beauty and feels a sense of truth in art, the art has done it’s job. It only takes one pure understanding of a work of art to make it worth something to the entire world.
