It is as if the person is no longer an Artist if the intent is to celebrate beauty.

that has to be the mother of all ironies, and a really good reason to celebrate it all the more. But beauty is truth, and the truth might not look so pretty sometimes.

Yes, Truth is not always “Pretty”.

That’s why I love FR. We celebrate beauty, but we are not afraid of the truth, even when it’s ugly.
Mr. Kincaid had chosen the Beautiful part of truth upon which to focus his talent. That is OK, as there is no shortage of Artists who revel in the controversial, the gritty, the harsh, and ugly aspects of the truth.

Kinkaid was refreshing in his depiction of Beauty, as it is getting quite rare these days. Nearly all aspects of our present culture (Art, Music, Film, Dance, etc)celebrate violence, deviant sex, racial hatred, misogyny, drug abuse, and death.

And that’s not even counting the porn.
