Ideal in Paintinig for Hegel

The beauty of an art work corresponds to its degree of organization, No element of an artwork may appear, unplanned, accidental or irrational. "the artist must omit little hairs, pores, little scars, blemishes, and grasp and represent the subject in its universal character and its steadfast individuality. It makes a great difference whether the artist merely reproduces a person’s physiognomy, as it quietly presents itself to him in its surface and external configuration, or whether the artist insightfully represents the true features which express the subject's own soul"
