Summary of Project:
“The author has a very superficial view of art. Of course some works that are now accepted as great were made for commercial reasons or to express the artist`s concept of beauty, but can any of these criteria be applied to the work of van Gogh or Bosch, even Picasso or Miro? While Saori Ninomiya`s works contain beauty, if perhaps a terrible beauty, these criteria are woefully inadequate in explaining the reasons the work came into being and their intensity.”
