Borgund Stave Church in Norway On Beauty With thanks and credit to C.B Robertson. His book Holy Nihilism helped spark this and I borrow heavily from his thinking on the matter, but hopefully expand and add my own thoughts. I have been thinking a lot about beauty and what it is. Any burgeoning art movement should think on beauty and seriously engage with what beauty is. It is not enough to make declarations about beauty but then be unable to define the term or explain why a certain piece of art is beautiful and another is not. This is not to say that instinct is absent either, we react instinctively to many different phenomena of the world, sometimes we see beauty and struggle for words it seems so obvious to us. Beauty can stop us in our tracks, take our breathe away, inspire us and some give over their lives in pursuit of creating beauty. It is not a subject to be taken lightly.
