very true, mantus. our search for, and sense of, the aesthetic mirrors our relationship with the divine. most importantly...for the person(s) who feel it, it is real in most every sense of the word. their reaction is only appropriate if it is to something more complex than simply the patterns on the canvas. its also highly subjective, and hard to share. i won't tell you what kind of art to appriciate, but niether will i let you tell me that monet didn't make art.
