Beauty Will Save the world

Is Paris Burning?
Hitler questioned Alfred Jodl, his chief of staff, on the eve of the liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944. General Dietrich von Choltitz, military governor of Paris, had been ordered to destroy Paris. Choltitz disobeyed.

What inspired Chotitz to disobey Hitler? The ‘turmoil’ inside the man. A man who didn't want to be on the wrong side of history, as a man who caused the destruction of a beautiful city.

Beauty will save the world. Dostoevsky's maxim rings true as we question the core values of art. This is only the sleeping love for art, inside Chotitz, that made him do what none would have expected from an army that executed Holocaust. Truly art can awaken the unconscious inside, the aesthetic, the sense to see nonsense. We will triy to find in this blog the things that matter to the Theory of Aesthetics .

The Oxford Advance Learner’s Dictionary defines the word art as “the use of the imagination to express ideas or feelings, particularly in painting, drawing or sculpture”. In today’s time when new forms of art are coming every day, this definition can unfold dissent. We thus will also explore the new experiments in art themes on a conceptual level.

Be it antique, modern or contemporary, good quality art is something to covet. Creativity, knowledge and, above all, sensitivity mark out the true masters. We salute rise of one of the most enduring contemporary art genres in India.

Tradition had very strong influences in the art of the times and hence the word ‘traditional’ became part of the lexicon of the art world .Traditionally Royal extravagance and patronage promoted art form. From the Art Nouveau to the emergence of art galleries like, Art Basel, Frieze Art Fair, Chanel Mobile Art through to contemporary jewellery that’s all the rage. We will introduce you to some of the most exotic art galleries in India which are not only beating norms of tradition but invariably emerging as the Sotheby’s of India.

What is unique and common among the works of the royal courts, is the fact that they were all created for the Royal Family by a number of talented artists.But in those days it was considered a sign of weakness for the artist to leave his name on the work. In some countries it was even considered sacrilegious, akin to the artist’s attempt to elevate himself to the stature of God.

But now with new ways of expressing art coming up the trend has been completely reversed. From function to fashion, if there’s one trend that has bucked phases, fads and figures, it is art. Ingenuity, though, becomes the crucial differentiator. We will try to find how new materials are being experimented with to express ideas and emotions.

More than ever though, people today want to be appreciated for their individuality. The clothes they wear and the trends they follow are the silent means by which they express who they are and how they feel. Though, the tradition of quality, specialty and craftsmanship continues today. We discover the elixir of youth and dynamism as we introduce you to those who became famous and fabulous well into their youth.
