We must accept that art is subjective, that while there are many forms of art that we may find appealing, there are many that do not. I feel it is important nonetheless that as many forms of art be explored as possible because, in my opinion, it is more important that the artist be satisfied by his work than the viewer. This YouTube clip is a short preview of a the 'Triadic Ballet" by renowned German artist/sculptor/choreographer Oskar Schlemmar. I find it completely bizarre, but choose to acknowledge it as art in a different medium that is a product of immense creativity and innovation. Hitler, however, found it degenerate and banned his art in Nazi Germany. My favourite part of the clip is from 1:06 to 1:31 (I couldn't find any more of the dance with the disc costumes online - there are some other parts of it that are fantastic).
