The War on Beauty believes:

1. That beauty is an objective, transcendent truth which can be visually or audibly manifested in art.

2. That art can unite the world–every race, education level, age, gender, religion, and background.

3. That art can be true and beautiful with the ability to positively form a soul, or “art” can be deceitful and ugly, with the power to corrupt and destroy a soul.

4. That there is no such thing as art in our contemporary world, rather an industry that uses meaningless products to transact and propagandize.

5. That the future of Western Civilization is one of totalitarian enslavement if true art is not wrested back from the grips of an all-consuming industry.

6. That any ideology is incompatible with art. Art should be made, shown, curated, bought, and sold, based on its artistic merits alone, without consideration of the gender, sexuality, race, etc. of the artist or subject matter.

7. That the artists, curators, opinion-makers, and power-players in the arts today have a largely anti-beauty point of view, prioritizing politics, criticism, and deconstruction over sincere, good art, which has led to an insular, static, aesthetically one-note, and regressive art scene that is anathema to thousands of years of Western art history.

8. The War on Beauty will lead a paradigm shift to real art.
