Art has long been regarded as a kind of education, to improve beauty, truth and wisdom of humanity. Art is also used as propaganda to promote religion of political views. Modern artists reject these purposes. They advocate “L’art pour l’art”, and try to avoid instilling special meaning into the art.
I am not a fan of art with religious or political propaganda. I feel like someone tries to rob my rights of independent thinking. I also lack insights towards art depicting evil or ugly objects.
I prefer the art which simply deliver the beauty, wisdom, truth, and love. It may be a landscape painting describing a mountainous scene in 18 contrary, a sculpture displaying a toned body, or a movie fullfilling the love of humanity.
I hope art can enrich and uplift my mind. As a scientific scholar, I hope my limited time with art is kind a pleasure and relaxation which can drag me out of abstract concepts full of numbers and codes.
