Dan brings up an interesting thought about the relationship of non-art elements in nature and those elements people have been presented with in the form of art. The beauty we all know in nature's energy can be reflected in art but equally can be reflected is the tragedy, violence and ugliness as in the writings of Poe. Painters and sculptors reflected the horror of war via German invasion of Holland for example....by producing sculpture showing twisted hearts and bodies.
See Ossip Zadkine's "The Destroyed City" sculpture reacting to the bombing of Rotterdam by the German Luftwaffe. Zadkine is a rare artist who's work is made for people, not for himself.
