I think Larry Neal's opinion about ethics and aesthetics is very true. It wouldn't make any sense at all to apply and dedicate yourself to something you don't value. I see a persons aesthetics being the back bone and foundation when wanting to carry out an idea or making your voice be heard.
What makes art ethical is the person themselves. In some aspects art can appear by itself, but it still needs an initiator. Whether it be a person or nature itself, there's always some bases in which this "artistic piece" was created. Someone or something gave it, it's foundation and that is what it's reflecting. The ethics of nature itself have shown us countless times that art is all around us. When we see flowers blossom, spiders spinning webs, and even if your lucky enough to catch a glimpse of an aurora borealis. I do not think there is any non-ethical art. Everything has a foundation and rules it must or have always followed, it's when we take a closer that we realize what the hidden purpose of this beauty is for.

ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with you - which makes me wonder why so many people believe so strongly in 'art for art's sake' - it doesn't matter if it shows people doing ridiculous things none of us can relate to because it's just entertainment - that is, escape.
