A Beautiful Portrayal of Ugliness

Every culture has always accompanied its own concept of Beauty with its own idea of Ugliness, even though –in the case of archaeological finds – it is hard to establish whether the thing portrayed was really considered ugly or not: to Western Eyes, certain fetishes and certain masks from other cultures seem to represent horrible or deformed creatures, while for natives they can be or could have been portrayals of positive values

Greek mythology possesses a wealth of creatures like funs, Cyclopes, chimeras, and minotaurs, or divinities like Priapus, considered monstrous and extraneous to the canons of Beauty expressed in statuary or Polyclitus or Praxiteles, nevertheless, the attitude toward these entities was not always one of repugnance. . . . .
