People in Make-Believe Land

Whenever aesthetic people are being discussed, opinions differ about “Who’s an aesthetic?” This set is made up of people who live somewhat in a world of make-believe: artists, entertainers, stylists too, all are so devoted to art for art’s sake that they frequently forsake life’s practicalities. The artistic person seeks beauty and tries to express it in ways for others to enjoy. It might be said that his life is devoted to giving rather than to grasping a point which he pursues so intently that oftentimes he lives in a world apart from his fellow men.

In addition to poets, painters and designers, people in the entertainment field are expressionists too . . . from the penguin-suited orchestra playing chamber music (that you keep hoping will turn into a tune) to the hillbilly band belting out something about “Flies in the Sugar Bowl”; from the actor who thinks of himself as another Hamlet to the jelly-muscled queen of burlesque who displays her “joie de vivre.”

The same group embraces those from the three-ringed circus and carny kids born in trunks and reared in dresser drawers; performers from ballet dancers who twirl on their toes to folk dancers who buck and wing at the Sugar Hill Shim-sham. There are those who divert us with everything from Mozart at the Met to tomfoolery on TV; the talented tenor on a citronella circuit and the greasepainted star at a Ham and Leg night spot cavorting on a napkin-sized floor.

There’s an endless list of aesthetics not always practical people perhaps but of all of them it may be said that they are imbued with a passion to express beauty and feeling.
