In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.
I realize that protest paintings are not exactly in vogue, but I've done many.
Beauty has been democratised. No longer the preserve of movie stars and models but available to all. But while the invitation to beauty is welcomed, it has become not so much an option as an imperative.
If today I have to make a political statement, it is, 'I love beauty.' I think beauty makes people better.
Angry people are not beautiful.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Who can protest alone? Who dares rise up? It is not easy. One is all alone, and evermore shall be so.
We no longer dare to believe in beauty and we make of it a mere appearance in order the more easily to dispose of it.
We protest to our last breath against the purveyors of hatred, cruelty and violence.
Beauty is a short-lived tyranny.
