Beauty of Ugliness

Beauty of Ugliness

This is definitely a contradiction. The effect of Ugliness is mostly just opposite to the effect of Beauty. But Ugliness and Beauty have some similarities.

Beauty - generally pleasant, comfortable, easy, harmonious, balanced, symmetrical, attractive, figuratively usually good, right, appropriate

Ugliness - generally unpleasant, uncomfortable, uneasy, non-harmonious, unbalanced, asymmetrical, repulsive, figuratively usually bad, wrong, inappropriate

However, there are some similarities - impressive, provocative, even creative not destructive. These features are in contrast to neutral, general, uncharacteristic, mediocre.

Ugliness has a force though often repulsive but not necessarily always negative. Ugliness has reality, therefore powerful, usually more powerful than beauty.

Beauty of Ugliness exists but usually hidden.
