(Abstract)

A story, a work of art, a face, a designed object — how do we tell that something is beautiful? And why does it matter so much to us? Designer Richard Seymour explores our response to beauty and the surprising power of objects that exhibit it.

(Opinion)

A beautiful thing is something that tells us something. For example, in human’s photography the most important and beautiful is often the eyes. Why? Because there will be where we can catch the essence of someone. It is where there is the main message that a person transmits.

“We see things not as they are, but as we are” says Richard Seymour. He let us understand that things are beautiful because we see them beautiful. Just trying to find something universally beautiful for everybody we will find that there are none. That means we see the only beauty we create by looking at something and not because something it is really beautiful.

Now we can understand why canons of beauty through history have changed constantly or why we see something beautiful now and years after it looks ugly. The true beauty exists in us. In the way we look at what surrounds us.
