Beauty Obsession -Venezuela

I thought that this documentary was really eye opening describing that in victorian times "beauty was a value as important as truth or goodness" and that the "soul purpose of art, music was beauty" and that how beauty in society reflects how we percieve things and how all our archiecture is ugly and cold, with no love or appreciation gone into it and how that anything with just a utility use is not meant to last, and how architecture of great beauty has last thousands of years.

How all our art now is meant to disturb or shock (Tracy Emin's Bed) and that by loosing beauty in our culture we are loosing the meaning of life. How copies of mimicks of somehing can never match up (such as the Michalangelo Statue) because copies lack creativity and deep down we all know when something is cheapend it looses its preciousnes.
