"What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!"
Beauty is objective.

The Appenine Colossus.

Built over 400 years ago in Florence, the Colossus is half man, half mountain. It was created with a brick core encased by a carved stone exterior that rises 30 feet above the water below. There's even a secret room behind his head with a fireplace that blows smoke through his mighty nostrils.


Emile Munier 1873


Otto Piltz


A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

~John Keats, from Endymion


How do you tell a person in another place or time what a dance looks like, and how it should be performed?

Images extracted from the latter half of Choregraphie, a book first published in 1700 which details a dance notation system invented in the 1680s at the court of Louis XIV. Its author, Raoul-Auger Feuillet, was maître de danse of the French King.

Pillars of Acre, Venice

The Pilastri Acritani ('Pillars of Acre') are two elaborately decorated pillars near the southern side of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice. The pillars are among the many spoils looted in the sack of Constantinople in 1204. They were also considered by John Ruskin to be “the two most noble pillars in Venice”.
