More than one post per person permitted at this stage. Collective nouns are permitted (ie. the Pyramids at Giza, New York, the Internet, etc) We will debate in Stage 2, after we have enough objects to discuss. The vote in stage 3. Steve
obsteve 02-Jul-09, 12:02	Definition of beautiful For the purposes of this thread, go with your own instincts on what you think is beautiful, and don't bother about other people's definitions.
coopershawk 04-Jul-09, 21:03	Madame Butterfly Aria - Un Bel Di From the third act I think. Puccini. www.youtube.com
rilke 05-Jul-09, 12:05	The Golden Gate Bridge The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is really a rare beauty for this unusual bridge. The hanging cables (innovation for the 1930's), the beautiful red color, and the magnificent view of San Francisco and Alcatraz , makes the great engineering work as one of one the great modern wonders of the world.
obsteve 06-Jul-09, 06:05	A violin A simple construct, curvy body, long neck, beautiful to look at and to hear (in the right hands!)
bored_ezra 06-Jul-09, 23:52	Sydney Opera House I think this icon of the 20th century is right up there. Its beautiful and interesting architecture not only catches the eye but makes the mind process it and amplifies that feeling the closer and more in depth the structure becomes...
obsteve 11-Jul-09, 17:29	Stiletto Shoes I'm beginning to think this is a much more difficult task than I had first imagined. Beauty knows no pain, as they say , so here's a sexy stiletto from Sergio Rossi ayakkabim.files.wordpress.com
rilke 13-Jul-09, 11:20	School of Athens This great mural painting by Raphael, is an outstanding, majestic and overwhelmed work of art. The greatest minds of Antiquity in one painting.
rilke 19-Jul-09, 20:28	The Ninth Symphony The 9th Symphony of Beethoven is a work of a Genius ! A masterpiece !
obsteve 30-Jul-09, 10:20	The pawn Chess in itself is beautiful, but the pawn! Mmmmm, the pawn is the beauty of the chess board. The smallest, seemingly weakest piece- dictates the style of game; plays the unique en passant; makes the final metamorphasis into any other piece... Beautiful in form and function
cloop 31-Jul-09, 12:18	Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings Almost unbearably beautiful.
obsteve 01-Aug-09, 12:22	Agreed Heartbreaking material.
antinephilehi 01-Aug-09, 12:33	Life A newborn baby. WOman made. Most of it
obsteve 02-Aug-09, 00:49	Babies Cheers! Way to point out the intrinsic sexism of word 'man-made'! I meant 'synthetic', 'artificial', 'deliberately constructed' and you know it! The stork brought my two anyways   Although... are we at the point yet where we could say we could make babies 'synthetically'? Like test-tube, cloning, tissue fabrication? oooh... en.wikipedia.org
rilke 10-Sep-09, 09:57	School of Athens Raphael's masterpiece is a beauty to see how he gathered the greatest minds of antiquity in a mural.
obsteve 25-Sep-09, 19:42	the atomic bomb www.leenks.com
rilke 26-Sep-09, 00:59	Beethoven's Ninth symphony Beethoven's Opus work. A sublime and energetic of the Music at its best!
obsteve 28-Sep-09, 12:02	The atomic bomb Horrific, powerful, awesome, violent: everything that undisneyfied beauty should be
rilke 19-Jan-10, 14:33	Notre Dame One of the greatest Cathedrals of all time .
rilke 10-Aug-10, 04:57	Der Ring des Nibelungen Wagner's masterpiece of the four cycle opera.
grege79 10-Aug-10, 13:46	I have to agree with Cloop - Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings It touches a chord.....
hebrit 10-Aug-10, 16:19	The monokini Sometimes a great creation involves simply removing something.

hebrit 07-Sep-10, 06:12	Barber : Adagio I must try and listen to it again. I still can't understand why so many people like it. Knoxville: Summer of 1915 - Now that is a true masterpiece.
rilke 07-Sep-10, 10:37	The Met The Metropolitan Opera of New York City. No words to describe the feeling once you are there.
