The power of beauty.

Design inspired by R. Mosse

A primal importance to me is beauty. Beauty is one of the main lines to make people feel something. It’s the sharpest tool in the box. If you’re trying to make people feel something, if you’re able to make it beautiful - they’ll sit up and listen. And often if you make something that’s derived from human suffering or from war and you present that with beauty, then sometimes it beautiful.
— Richard Mosse

Artist and photographer Richard Mosse reveals the stories behind the making of his latest film, 'The Enclave’ (2013), in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film was shown in the Irish Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale and was the 2014 winner of the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.

One of the most inspiring pieces I've watched in a while. I am beyond excited to check out the exhibit in the Portland Art Museum but more excited to have learned another artist's perspective on beauty and their thought process.
