And I think work can be very good and very successful without being able to call it beautiful, although I’m not clear about that. The work is good when it has a certain completeness, and when it’s got a certain completeness, then it’s beautiful.”— Bruce Nauman good artwork = completeness = beauty So if it is beautiful then is it a complete, good, artwork?

“One Hundred Live and Die”
1984

“I’m surprised when the work appears beautiful, and very pleased. And I think work can be very good and very successful without being able to call it beautiful, although I’m not clear about that. The work is good when it has a certain completeness, and when it’s got a certain completeness, then it’s beautiful.”
— Bruce Nauman


good artwork = completeness = beauty

So if it is beautiful then is it a complete, good, artwork?

Love Nauman.
