剧情介绍
现代艺术中的美丽消失了吗？
有的思想家这么认为，他们觉得现代艺术已经无法把握真正的美。然而艺术评论家Waldemar Januszczak却不同意。
Has beauty disappeared from modern art? Several influential modern thinkers insist that it has. And this belief has inspired them to publish a clutch of recent books which claim that modern art is no longer capable of capturing true beauty: that beauty has gone from art. Art critic Waldemar Januszczak fiercely disagrees, believing that great art is as interested in beauty as ever. Art's search for beauty has manifested itself in depictions of the idealised female form, glorious landscapes, lovely flower studies and perfectly arranged renaissance altar pieces - but where does this search continue today? We know so much about the atomical make-up of our universe that the search for beauty can seem old-fashioned or unscientific. And because so much horror and darkness have passed through modern times, the quest for 'beauty' can even be dismissed as escapist and irrelevant.
But of course, it isn't. Waldemar Januszczak would argue that the need for transcendent beauty in art is greater than it has ever been. And - most importantly - art knows this. Beauty is out there. You just have to know where to find it. However, beauty today can be electronic or scientific; subtle and elusive. It can be found in the LCD sculptures of Tatsuo Miyajima or the subtle light installations of James Turrell. Carl Andre discovers a stern modern beauty in squares of industrial materials dropped around a goods yard. The cancer paintings of Damien Hirst find a terrible modern beauty in the deformed human anatomy. These and other great searchers after beauty are the subject of this film.
The world today needs beauty more than it has ever needed it - and modern art is one of its few suppliers.

片子挺好的，除了小野洋子。呃，怎么说呢，虽然我不应该这么说，但我还是觉得她的姿态和说话的感觉，都让人很不舒服，感觉就像是个婊子…

BBC出品的艺术纪录片质量绝对没得说，不过说实话现代艺术对我而言也是丑陋的美丽，我明白社会发展要求我们用一种扭曲的方式来表达美，但有些现代艺术我真的没法欣赏。Suicide is a bullet train to eternity.这个比喻好棒。

We understand everything too well and all well measured, so we need something unreachable and mystery, as modern art.
