Notes on Art & Filmmaking: Cinematic Beauty

Beauty in art exists only if it is experienced. It may come in the form of the beautiful, it may come in the form of the sublime, but it always translates through the relationship created between the artwork and the audience. The greater the artist is at mastering the language he or she uses to express him or herself, the greater the connection between the artwork and the audience, the greater the hope for the audience to experience the depths of art: the feelings and truths it is able to bring to the forefront from life itself.
