“ Regardless of whatever hate any self-appointed, pseudo-avantgarde, mock-intelligentsia might hurl at Beauty in its place as the Purpose of Art, they are destined to fail. Humanity has finally divested itself of the hoodwink under which it suffered ugly, foul, negative, nightmarishly wrong, degenerate art in the 20th century. ”

“ The truth is that human beings have a natural ability to recognize beauty and contrast it with ugliness – in exactly the same way that they can differentiate between light and dark. Beauty is not relative, but identifiable, and to be celebrated. All that has happened during the past century or so is that ugliness has been hoisted up onto the pedestal formerly occupied by Beauty. ”

“ The marketed controversy as to the purportedly precarious nature and validity of beauty in art, versus ugly degeneration in art, has been nothing more than an artificial dialectic foisted on the gullible masses by social engineers who seek to propagandize people into believing that beauty and ugliness are indiscernible from one another. ”
