Description
x"Everything beautiful and noble is the result of reason and calculation."
Nature, Baudelaire says, is ugly--and art is what saves us from it. This wicked, brilliant fragment defends makeup not as deception but as devotion: a ritual rebellion against decay, chance, and animal life. To paint the face is to reject nature's chaos and choose artifice--freely, proudly, and exquisitely.Author: Charles Baudelaire
