Comment on The Abuse of Beauty

"The paintings are not to be admired because they are beautiful, but because their being so is internally connected with their reference and their mood. " Beauty is internal. The beauty is ingredient in the content of the work. Beauty is what we receive from the feeling we have toward the art work. Beauty is not as concrete as a beautiful landscape or elegant woman. I searched for Robert Motherwell's works. I also like Africa 1970.

Also their is another point interest me is that the author asked " Have we have a right to shoe suffering if that order in beautiful ways?" Though the composition and color of elegy to the spanish republic is beautiful, but under this painting, is the catastrophic event, immense sadness. It's a horrible historical event. It's so unforgettable that it's might be the one more injure for those who were related to that event. It's painful for them to see this representation of that disaster. 

Starving Sudanese gives me the same feeling. The photo itself is beautiful or, specifically  , right on the target. But audience can only get the feeling and sense of the famine problem in Africa and unconsciously forget to admire this photo. The meaning behind has exceeded the beauty itself. We can directly see the impact of the event instead of the object of the art work.
