Thank you, IronPanda. For most people, ugly is just an accident. For me, it's an obsession. There are only a few ways to make something beautiful, but there are endless variations of the grotesque.
yeah.... I mean my question is what is beauty? what is ugly? if soemthing evokes a feeling of emotion no matter what the subject matter is can that be considered ugly? If an ugly image makes you stronger, or provokes inner dialogue thats beautifull to me.
perhaps there was a time in history where people were so saturated with true uglyness that things of "positive" astetic value were all they could achieve an emotional responce with(like the middle ages when the streets ran rampent with dead bodies), but now.. in this modern age where everything is clean and splendid, the only things which provoke an emotional responce for me are those things which many would consider "ugly". The world is too saturated with perfection.
pardon me if I'm rambling, I am a bit drunk.

Well said. Well said.
I think that people have a stronger connection with images that they find repellent than they do with images that they find beautiful. I hate to trot out the obvious example, but I took an art history class recently, and there was HEATED debate among students over the artistic merit of Chronos Devouring His Children by Francisco Goya. The students who hated the painting wanted to establish that it was objectively bad, and the students who loved it (myself included) were frustrated that they did not feel that it was objectively good.
In a later session of the class, we were reviewing "beautiful" works by John Constable, and I remarked that I didn't like them. The closest thing I received to controversy was a grunt of, "I guess you're entitled to your opinion" and a shrug.
I don't think that people really care about a beautiful work. Its lovers feel that it can stand on its own, and its detractors aren't gravely offended by it. With ugly art, the people who like it feel the need to defend it, and the people who hate it don't want to have to see it.
That's how I feel.
