If beauty can save the world, as many believe, then art could be its saviour. Problem is, most people understand art even less than they understand beauty. So in the interest of saving the world, we'll explain them both to you now. Beauty is your values embodied in people or things. Art is creating images of those people and things. The key to both is values. Values are things you think are most important. If you think confusion, misery, terror, and death are the most significant things in life, your taste in art will reflect that. Most art today does. However, if like us you believe in truth, happiness, purpose, and life, you will prefer more positive oriented art, such as this set of Cat enjoying her own beauty. Some think positive, happy things cannot be art. They call it fluff. But if the embodiment of negative values can be considered art, so must the positive.
