"Über die Schönheit häßlicher Bilder. Ein Vademecum für Romantiker unserer Zeit" by Max Brod is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work reflects Brod's thoughts on aesthetics and art, examining the allure and significance of seemingly unattractive images and the concept of beauty in a modern context. Brod's engaging and critical voice invites readers to explore unconventional aspects of art and their implications for society. The opening of the essays begins with a nostalgic reflection on a past art exhibition in Vienna that deeply influenced the author's aesthetic sensibilities. He describes his mixed feelings of disappointment and delight upon encountering various artworks, particularly those that initially seemed kitsch yet resonated with him in unexpected ways. This initial experience sets the stage for Brod’s argument that there is romance to be found in the tastelessness of art. The following passages reveal his admiration for the charm in bad craftsmanship and the intricate interplay between beauty and ugliness, leading to a broader exploration of art, aesthetics, and personal reflection throughout the collection.
