This is a news that was an elderly woman who attempt to restore a fresco that located in a church --Sanctuary of Mercy Church near the Spanish city of Zaragoza. This fresco called “ Ace Homo” or “behold the man”. The matter is the restoration was failed and become like the picture above. At first, many people get angry and blame on the elderly woman who destroyed the historical art piece. But later on, they are some people are making joke on this art piece and a lot of tourist came to Spanish for just to look on this distorted art piece. The church and the fresco become famous and a lot of youngster becomes more interested in historical antique after this incident. Although this is an accident and is a joke, but it causes a big awareness in Aesthetic View and some party accepted the art piece. And I’m one of them.
What inspired me after looking on this art work, we just put aside the principle of design and shape, line, color etc… the idea here is the “ability to accept” and the “aesthetic view”. For me this artwork although it been distorted but it bring me laughter and a lot of inspiration, so this is a good artwork and it is nice. Am I wrong? From this art work, it teaches me how to look to an artwork. Usually in this society now, our aesthetic view is lean on the surface but not the truth behind it. This is what we have neglected.
