I think such is our human nature deceitful that, as a rule, beautiful photos are simply lovely and “easy to digest” for recipients.
As a rule (although there are exceptions, I will write about them later in this text) about such colorful postcard pictures, we can say they are nice and beautiful. That’s it. Still, I do not see anything wrong with this occurrence. I also sometimes like to take a look at beautiful pictures. However, we can say more about “sad” and “pessimistic” images depicting gray reality without Instagram filters. Different people will have various associations when looking at gray, mundane photos. However, the fact is that they can give more nutrition for thought than for postcard pictures.
A shoe left on the street can provide a person with many more unsolved puzzles to solve than beautiful photos of smiling people or trees full of colors.
Now, I will write something more about the exceptions mentioned earlier. The opinion mentioned above about “pretty” and “ugly” photos, in some sense, I think can be translated into musical works as well. Sting’s “Love Is The Seventh Wave” and REM’s “Shiny Happy People” are interesting examples.
The point is that the artists mentioned above have a lot of masterful, often nostalgic and contemplative songs. Still, the two pieces mentioned earlier can be confidently pinned down to these “happy” songs. However, the artistry of the artists does its job, and the brilliance beats clearly from these songs. Speaking shortly, these tunes are exceptions to the rule that “sad” and ambiguous works of art are much more interesting to analyze (at least for me). Today (I wrote this text on the 27th of October, 2022, based on inspiration I wrote on the 8th of November, 2017), I do not waste my time and energy on postcard pictures. There are millions of them on Instagram, and I am not interested in contemplating them. They are nice. That’s it.
