"Why Beauty Matters. Philosopher Roger Scruton presents a provocative essay on the importance of beauty in the arts and in our lives. In the 20th century, Scruton argues, art, architecture and music turned their backs on beauty, making a cult of ugliness and leading us into a spiritual desert."

If Art wanders into the desert, or the cesspool, we are not obliged to follow it. Beauty endures, and presents itself every morning at sunrise ( weather allowing :-)

An interesting subject.
Art definitively transcends the period of time in which it was created.

All by design, if you read that list of communist goals.

Yes, I know what you speak about.

Art definitively transcends the period of time in which it was created.I guess by this you mean to exclude the annotated urinal, since it requires special knowledge of its "creation" ( not to abuse the term ) to be recognized as art.

The guys with money get the hot chicks. That’s the way it is.

Many years ago, I read “Modern Art and the Death of a Culture” - I highly recommend it!

I’m happy the narrator mentions ugly architecture as well.
Spot on!
For more on that, I recommend Tom Wolfe’s highly predictive
“From Bauhaus to Our House”...(though I respectfully disagree with him @ Bucky Fuller), pretty much ALL of Wolfe’s writings are ‘highly predictive’ ;)
Cheers!
