Chapter 9: The Shiver of Beauty. This chapater talks about beauty, it’s definition and different aspects of it. In one part, Savater talks us about beauty in the artists and in their creations.
Savater says that artists are referred as creators which he then defines as somebody who has made something that would not have existed without him or her, somebody who brings something to the world. He then give us an example that artists paintings would have never existed if they didn’t existed, while in the other hand discoveries of things or medicines from scientists or people, could had been discovered or invented even though they hadn’t existed.
What he wants to say us is that artists paintings or sculptures are very important and are beautiful depending on the perspective in each of us. I agree with him stating this because he says that their works cannot be explained without them, without their vocation or personality. He also said that if they had not existed their works would have not existed either.
I therefore agree 100% with Savater because, that piece of art would have not existed if the artist didn’t existed. While the findings or creations of scientists can be found even though the scientists themselves hadn’t existed, someone else could have found them.
Savater also talked about how Plato disagreed with some artists and I somehow agree with how Plato taught. Why? Because I agree that some artists have very crazy ways of thinking and how they show they art, in this way they could change the way people think or the way people see things which can be sometimes dangerous or bad. For example in music, some artists could sing bad things in songs and make people act bad toward somethings. Today there are many songs that are considered bad and talk about death and killing of people, that’s were I want to get, stating that artists creations aren’t always good.

Martin, you are talking of a point that I really liked and that I found true because for example an artist will paint a paint that it would not existed if the artist have not exist, I mean many artist can make paints or similar paints but never equal, in my point of view I think art is unique for every person, each creation of art is different from each other, they will never be an equal painting. That´s awesome because it means that if you create something, it is there just because you exist without you existing, that thing has never be here.
ResponderEliminarI agree with you Martin, the artists sometimes create unique pieces of art; these works come from their mind, and how it evolved throughout their life until the time they create the art. So, as the book said, these works would not have existed without this artist, because its mind was different from all other, while for the discoveries from scientist, if this scientist would not have existed, another one working in the some research would arrive someday to the same discovery.
