Beauty In The Ear Of The Beholder

My thanks to Antonio for sending me this link to an interview with Richard Wright, winner of this year's Turner Prize. When asked to define beauty the artist has this this to say: "I don’t know what beauty means," he told me. " ’Beauty’ is an awkward word that way – a little like ’love’. But I know that I’m interested in beauty. And that people make beautiful things all the time. To me, Robert Fripp’s guitar playing is beautiful. It all depends on the audience. At certain times, people decide that beauty is a necessity." Here's another interview with the artist though this time without any reference to RF.
