It is not the sole purpose of art to make beautiful things. But the possibility of the contemplation of beauty is a central concept through the history of art, and often a goal of the creators. It is not the mere replication of beauty, but something more transcendant. It is not the direct relating of mundane facts, but a reaching for the soul.
