Art and beauty are seen to go hand in hand, but in actuality, they don't. For example, Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, it is art but it is not in anyway beautiful. It is revolutionary though, it shows something that is often related to art and beauty, it shows truth. It is very rare in the world of art for there to be a piece that lacks beauty but changes so much.
Arts job is to convey ideas, and with this there is no need for beauty. There for, the Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is an excellent example of truth. It conveys ideas and lacks the beauty that so often restricts art. Art is an odd thing, it is extremely powerful thing that may have a wide variety, but above all it is not bound by beauty.
