There's a kickback happening against the anti-beauty turn in contemporary art.
@JanTarnas explains why many are returning to the hallmarks of classical ideals of beauty amid the uglification of society.
"History shows, as exemplified by Socialist Realism, that ideological art loses its value beyond its time; what is only a document of the times will pass away. So we don't have to worry about the existence of art. More problematic is the answer to the question of what will the art be like, and in what relation to society will it survive?" - Jan Tarnas

"Beauty serves as a guidepost, revealing the truth about humanity, their worldview, and moral evaluation of their actions and character. By stripping away superficial hypocrisy, beauty reinforces the essence of humanity, existing between the lowliness of mud and the ethereal nature of clouds." - writes Jan Tarnas

"Państwa europejskie powstały w cywilizacji wartości chrześcijańskich i niezależnie od tego, czy ktoś jest katolikiem czy nie, musi zrozumieć, że postęp Europy i jej dynamika społeczna, były możliwe tylko ze względu na jej charakter cywilizacyjny i pielęgnowane wartości." - Jan Tarnas
