Op-Ed: Our favorite artists respond to a theme in the form of a visual essay.

Artist and writer Alessandro Keegan looks to nature.

“Beauty is when we recognize the perfect order that nature makes out of chaos. I think art becomes beautiful when it tries to steal some of nature’s perfection, and I feel art becomes poignant when it fails to live up to nature’s perfection.”

Alessandro Keegan, Ennoia (Study), 2019
