I have seen a Starry Night, and I know that it is beautiful.
Though my experience is subjective, the beauty of the subject matter is
universal. For when I looked upon the painting of the swirling stars and little
church, I experience a great pleasure. I do not find the images beautiful
simply because I take joy from them, but rather I find pleasure because the
Starry Night is filled with beauty. And I know the painting is beautiful
because I think not of a practical second use for it, but merely appreciate the
aesthetics of the work. Should you be looking for beauty in art, I recommend
you too go out and experience a Starry Night.
