Question:

Does art have to be beatiful to be art?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I think it only has to stir up an emotion and awaken thoughts in order to be art.

You could say that there is beauty in anything that does that, but not necessarily beauty in its normal sense. when you find beauty in the grotesque, or beauty in ugliness, that is art.
