‘People judge appearances as though somewhere in their minds an ideal of beauty of the human form exists, a form they would recognize if they saw it, thought they do not expect they will ever will. It exists in the imagination. Emily Dickinson, spending most of her time in her parents’ attic, once wrote about the power of imagination to envision the beautiful: „I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea, Yet I know how the heather looks, And what a wave must be.”<\/em> Kenneth Clark observed in The Nude that every time we criticize a human figure, for example that the neck is too short or the nose too long, or the feet too big, we are revealing that we hold an ideal of pshyical beauty.<\/p>\n

We are always sizing up other people’s looks: out beauty detectors never close up shop and call it a day. We notice the attractiveness of each face we see as automatically as we register whether or not they look familiar.<\/p>\n

Beauty is a basic pleasure. Beauty ensnares hearts, captures minds and stirs up emotional wildfires. From Plato to pinups, human beauty have catered to a limitless desire to see and imagine an ideal human form.<\/p>\n

But we live in the age of ugly beauty, when beauty is morally suspect and ugliness has a gritty allure. Beauty is equal parts flesh and imagination: we imbue it with our dreams, saturate it with our longings. But to spin this another way, reverence for beauty is just an escape from reality, it is the perpetual adolescent in us refusing to accept a flawed world. We wave it away with a cliche: „Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”<\/em>, meaning that beauty is whatever pleases us (with the subtext that is inexplicable).’<\/p>\n

Nu intamplator am deschis articolul de azi cu paragrafe din „Survival of the Prettiest”<\/a> – pentru ca saptamana trecuta va invitam sa va ganditi la frumusetea imperfectiunii. As fi curioasa sa aflu cate dintre voi va simtiti si va vedeti cu adevarat frumoase, superbe, splendide, extraordinare? Nu in sensul standard al cuvantului, ci intr-o definitie personala. Cate dintre voi se gandesc, intr-o cabina de proba, ca un caracter frumos, o viata frumoasa, un suflet si o inteligenta cultivata cantaresc mai mult decat niste solduri care nu incap in marimea S? Deseori ma gandesc ca am fi mult mai fericite si mai impacate cu noi insine daca am trai intr-o lume fara oglinzi…<\/p>\n
