All art work is about beauty; all positive work represents it and celebrates it. All negative art protests the lack of beauty in our lives. When a beautiful rose dies, beauty does not die because it is not really in the rose. Beauty is an awareness in the mind. It is a mental and emotional response that we make.
When your eyes are open
you see beauty in anything.
Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye, it is in the mind.
- Agnes Martin in the book Agnes Martin, edited by Frances Morris
