In this essay, Rafael Argullol explores the relationship between beauty and art, examining the concept of beauty for man and the gods in classical texts, the figure of the contemporary artist, exhibitions, stylistic avant-gardes, photography, the architecture of the polis, the crossroads of the Baroque, and the aesthetic culture of the Renaissance. From these perspectives, Argullol elaborates a personal canon that contains fundamental works and decisive aspects to understand the modern aesthetic experience, vindicating the need for a plural look at artistic creation.
