Rusty Barrel

starting at €90.00

In the spring, it was customary to burn the branches and twigs that had fallen during the autumn and winter storms in metal barrels. Before paper and cardboard were recycled, many types of combustible trash were also burned. It was exciting to watch how the surface of the barrel reacted as the fire progressed. Although the metal barrel lasted a long time, the heat treatment accelerated its rusting. Watching it was an interesting pastime.

CONCRETE DECAY – Antidote to beauty clichés

The Science Term Bank defines beauty as an aesthetic quality that is generally considered a type of aesthetic value. According to the philosopher Plato, beauty is a true reality that can be understood by reason, but whose imperfect reflections can also be perceived by the senses. Aristotle, on the other hand, defended the principle of purposefulness. The opposite of these views is that beauty is a purely subjective value, i.e., beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Also ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. Decadent romanticism, the beauty of ugliness, is an ideological movement that emerged in the late 18th century. According to it, an object can be perceived as beautiful simply because looking at it gives pleasure.
