The Importance of Difficult Beauty

Sally Kohn: Is there enough difficult beauty around? And how does this tie back to disability? For example, in the book you talk about this beautiful sculpture of a disabled pregnant woman and how meaningful it was to examine that work of art. You also talk about some of the ancient, I think Greek sculptures and how some of them it'll be like arms chopped off and like a partial torso. How is that related to disability or not? She says we can find difficult beauty in museums. We can find it in great abstract paintings that look like scribbles on a canvas at first but then perhaps with some education about what abstract art is trying to do.
