There’s lots of both beauty and ugliness in life. So there should be plenty of both in Art, is Art is a reflection of life.
But maybe Art differs, somewhat, in that we may have more control (although that might be illusory?), and therefore the search for perfection that in Life can be tortuous, is perhaps more feasible in Art?
Anyway, I find that here I am, in my 50s, and still a fan of traditional Art forms, like drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture.
Perhaps analogously, I still like records and CDs? I like to possess an object; the Thing is important!
