Ugly Beauty
Ugly Beauty
Waldemar Januszczak explores whether modern art is as interested in the concept of beauty as classical forms were, arguing that it is the definition that has changed, and not art's capacity to create beautiful work. The critic examines artists Tatsuo Miyajima's and James Turrell's use of light to see what modern design has to say about beauty, while Jeff Koons sees it in trashy pop culture
Ugly Beauty airs on Sky Arts at 3:30 AM, Wednesday 27 November. (Subtitles.)
