Scott Harrison: Aesthetics

Aesthetics

An aesthetical evaluation Of a work of artistic creation Depends all the while On standards of style, Which vary, but form the foundation.

But aesthetics is only a good start To an all-rounded critique of fine art. Goodness also depends On political ends, And morality too in the first part.     —JSH, "Aesthetics" (1992)

There was a trombonist called Herb, Whose playing was loud (though superb);     When neighbors complained,     Young Herbert explained: "But great art is meant to disturb."     —Ron Rubin
