An obviously different aspect of beauty

In our lives, there are many things that we can easily distinguish if it is true or false, for instance, 1 + 1= 2, or England is a country. While for other things, we can not - it doesn't have transparent criteria, and people just use their own feelings or perspectives to evaluate or judge, and that is beauty. There are no fixed criteria to apply for true beauty, also we can not put our own perspective about beauty on someone. Beauty is all about how we feel, and how we absorb it.

There is some beauty that a large number of people recognize, which we can call "popular beauty", but there is some beauty, which is hard to feel or just recognized by a small group of people.

Art

Piccaso is a great artist, who created the Cubism style, which emphasizes 2D flat images, abandoned traditional representational techniques of perspective, and rejected the longstanding artistic theory that emphasized imitation of nature. Cubist painters were not bound to copying shapes, surface structures, colors or spaces, but instead introduced viewers to a new form of reality through their depictions. It describes an object divided into many segments with many faces from many angles shown at the same time.

Girl Before a Mirror - 1932 - Picasso

If there’s a single painting that screams Picasso, this might be the one. “Girl Before a Mirror” is alive with color, pathos, a hint of eroticism and beguiling shapes that take cubism to its extremes.

It’s a fascinating study that asks: “What do you really see when you look at yourself?” The woman holding the mirror on the left is much lighter and livelier than the darker reflection, which appears to be shedding a tear.

Human beauty

We are familiar with some fixed standards of human beauty, for example, the standard of beauty in Europe is healthy tanned skin, in Asia it is milky white skin, v-line face, and a high nose. However, in some African countries, ethnic minorities, beauty is totally different, they prefer healthy dark skin, short hair, or even scars in patterns, a long neck, a big tongue, big ears, etc. For most Asia, European, American people, it's hard to accept this beauty, but for these groups of people that is the true beauty, the culture, and they love and respect it as the way they maintain their cultural identity.

Home

As I mentioned in the opening of the article, beauty is something that we hardly use our brain to evaluate, just use our heart to feel. Our home is a place where we always feel warm, safe and truly feel where we belong to, even if our home is large or small, luxurious or simple. It's really beautiful in our own eyes, not only for the appearance but also for the emotion and the memory our houses give us.
