What is so beautiful about art?
Nothing. The question begs a personal opinion, which destroys the entire concept of art. Finding beauty in art is the task of the viewer.Some background: for a long time, I was unimpressed with art. I grew up in a small town, had no real fine art education, and had never been to an art museum. My degree in history taught me how art superficially reflects historical trends, but never gave me an appreciation for art as a subject in and of itself. Much later, while teaching European history, I began to delve into the topic deeper to enrich my knowledge of a continent and cultures that had fascinated me my whole life, but previously only in the realms of politics and economics. While doing this, I absolutely fell in love with art (specifically Baroque art and the works of Caravaggio). I learned to appreciate techniques, subjects, and context.Now to continue answering the question. When I didn't appreciate art, it's because I felt like you - "what's the big deal, anyway?" It was only when I found something in the art that spoke specifically to me and gave me some real aesthetic pleasure that I began to find it enjoyable. Now, my classroom and home are plastered in posters of my favorite pieces, my family spends enormous amounts of time at our local art museums, and I find that teaching art history in class is one of my favorite things.In short, you can't force it. Art is an amorphous term that can literally apply to almost any activity. You have to allow your affinity to be developed through low-risk exposure to painting, sculpture, opera, and symphonies. If you find one form or style unappealing, look to another to stimulate your interest.Art is beautiful because we can choose to admire those things that interest us, and there is no universal standard (despite what critics may say) that determines what is 'good'or 'beautiful.' The viewer gets to make a final and undeniable personal judgment in that matter, and use that to guide their taste. I hate Rococo art. I find it frivolous, meaningless, and devoid of pathos. But that doesn't mean it's not art, or that someone else can't appreciate it fully (in fact, I believe I'm in the minority there.)
How do New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago compare?
I have lived in all three.Chicago is a city of neighborhoods. It is easy to meet people. The politics are and always have been dirty, but the snow gets plowed and the garbage gets picked up, so it’s hard to complain. Great people, great food, great culture. It will always be home for me. You can do OK making $60,000.Los Angeles is not a “city” like Chicago or NY. LA is a gigantic suburb. The weather is silly nice most of the time. The Valley is not nearly as nice as the area South of Mulholland. It is the epicenter of film and television and the economy rises and falls around that fact. You have to drive. Pick your neighborhood wisely. How far is the grocery store….etc. The air is disgusting and the tap water reeks of chlorine. I hated it. $80,000 a year will keep you comfortable.New York is a melting pot in every way. People from every place in the world come here, many never bother to learn to speak English, because they don’t need to, plenty of people speak the language they do. You can hear, see, smell and taste so many different cultures, you can never get bored. Everything is expensive. More than LA and Chicago. Housing is brutal. The public trans system gets a lot of flak, but it moves MILLIONS of people around the city every day. More than LA or Chicago your success is up to you. Starting your own business sometimes is the only way to make money. But there is great art and culture here, if you can afford it. If you make less than $100,000 life can be difficult.Good luck! Just always have $500 in a bank account in case you need to “go home” from any of these cities.
