He who loves the beautiful is called a lover because he partakes of it.
Phaedrus
Through contemplation it becomes possible to pierce the surface appearance of a visually appealing subject and comprehend Beauty as a platonic or non-objective form.
What the eye then sees must first pierce the heart and soul for true beauty to be experienced. This is the art of beholding.
