A work's appeal doesn't have to be limited to visual beauty - it can also encompass technical prowess, an ideological point of view, or just sheer innovation. But too many things we see these days don't cut it: a piece that relies on shock value, an idea we've seen before that was never beautiful, mechanical art that doesn't work, "cutting edge" technology that is 50 years old.
