We have been recently talking about the concept of Beauty and the concept of Creativity. What do you think the relationship is between the two? Are creative things beautiful? Do we recognize true creativity through beauty? Or does creatvity perhaps need traditional concepts of beauty in order to be able to create something worthy of being labled "beautiful"?
Not all creative objects are beautiful but a lot of the time, they can have aesthetic qualities which the artist has introduced into the artwork in order for it to appear agreeable. On the turn side, in literature, there are words that sound better and agree in sentence harmony. I do not believe all creative objects need traditional objects of beauty to be considered beautiful because even though a postmodern work of art may not be naturally formed, one can see the beauty of what the artist is trying to convey about the world and art. I find that beautiful and in literature, there are often grim subjects expressed but in a beautiful way which are not so frightening which we turn away to. Art and literature and music has to become a lot more dysfunctional before it will upset us entirely.
And the laws of art will not allow this to happen because everything in art, literature, and music must have some form, even if it is free form, and so total chaos and a mess would not make sense for any art form.
