In art economy is always beauty.

In art economy is always beauty.

Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to art, the true value lies in its beauty. While traditional forms of economics focus on monetary value and transactions, art transcends this realm. It implies that the worth of art cannot solely be determined by its price tag or market demand; rather, its true essence lies in its ability to evoke emotions, inspire, and captivate the beholder through its aesthetics. In the economy of art, beauty signifies its ultimate currency, influencing the way we value and appreciate artistic expressions beyond mere monetary considerations.
