Lovely, Lovely

I believe that beauty in art can take many forms, and is still very important today.  Beauty still matters in art because it is perceived differently by people, and this allows for a larger diversity in art.  The image or colors aren't always what constitutes beauty in art for me, the expression and emotion can also create beauty in a work of art.  Even the darker pieces that may be intended to shock the viewer can hold a certain beauty.  Personally, I think that the work by Jules Olitski demonstrates this very well.  I was able to see some of his work on display at the museum, and it really stood out to me; not only the colors or the images, but the expression in his work had an element of beauty.  Every painting that I saw seemed to have a special beauty about it, as if he really put himself into the work.
