Chronicles of a Liquid Society. Umberto Eco. 4.6 out of 5 stars 24. Paperback. CDN$20.88.

Umberto Eco, in his book ‘The History of Beauty’ (2004, p.133) noted: ‘…although ugly creatures and things exist, art has the power to portray them in a beautiful way, and the Beauty of this imitation makes Ugliness acceptable…’ According to this statement, the ‘ ugliness’ acquires the potential to be called ‘beautiful’.

ugliness necessary in order to speak about the beautiful? In chapter V of his History of Beauty (2004) Umberto Eco discusses the so-called 'beauty of monsters'.

As a followup to Umberto Eco's History of Beauty, I have also created a presentation on his "On Ugliness" for my course. Surprisingly, I found the images and related passages about ugliness much more interesting than the ones about beauty.
