Art is always seen as beautiful. When you show someone artwork they first comment on the beauty. However, the concept of this piece isn’t actually really “pleasing”. The idea of a detached head on a platter feels quite gruesome in fact. The wrinkled messy sheet in the background is exactly what someone wouldn’t want. Yet, ironically, to those I show this piece, its beauty is complimented. This piece is a commentary on an artist's ability to romanticize and manipulate even the most disturbing concepts into something beautiful.
