I am always initially attracted to a painting I'm unfamiliar with purely on an aesthetic basis.
Anything which has a need/can fulfil a purpose is ugly.
The most useful room in the house is the toilet.
Do other people care about aesthetics?
Are aesthetics purely subjective or is there something that humans are attracted to?
I love Francis Bacon's work purely because it's so unsettling - like looking at a car crash, but my mum hates them.
Bad example.
What is aesthetic attraction at it's most basic level?
the colour red?
glass?
gold.
sexual desire?
Anish Kapoor's sculpture is the supreme example of aesthetic isn't it?
Gloss, sheen, polished metal. "Finished."
But isn't this just subjective too?
