ART MUST BE BEAUTIFUL


"...we should study the contemporary work of art critically and always consider whether it fulfils the first condition of art: beauty. If it does not, it may be not art at all..." --JJ de Lucio-Meyer, "Visual Aesthetics", 1973.

Adrienne Rich lived 8 miles away from 1979 - 1984.


Adrienne Rich and Michelle Cliff lived in this small village of Montague Center from 1979 -1984. That is only 8 miles away from me and I never knew it. Neighbors say she kept to herself.

Adrienne Rich, (May 16, 1929 - March 27, 2012)

...Widely read, widely anthologized, widely interviewed and widely taught, Ms. Rich was for decades among the most influential writers of the feminist movement and one of the best-known American public intellectuals...In 1997, in a widely reported act, Ms. Rich declined the National Medal of Arts, the United States government’s highest award bestowed upon artists. In a letter to Jane Alexander, then chairwoman of the National Endowment for the Arts, which administers the award, she expressed her dismay, amid the “increasingly brutal impact of racial and economic injustice,” that the government had chosen to honor “a few token artists while the people at large are so dishonored.”
Art, Ms. Rich added, “means nothing if it simply decorates the dinner table of power which holds it hostage.”

In the collection’s title poem, Ms. Rich chronicles the pulverizing onus of traditional married life. It opens this way:
You, once a belle in Shreveport,
with henna-colored hair, skin like a peachbud,
still have your dresses copied from that time. ...
Your mind now, mouldering like wedding-cake,
heavy with useless experience, rich
with suspicion, rumor, fantasy,
crumbling to pieces under the knife-edge
of mere fact.
Though the book horrified some critics, it sealed Ms. Rich’s national reputation.
