Nymph with morning glory flowers - Jules-Joseph LefebvreFrench （1836 - 1911）
Nymph是西方美神的代表性画像
看介绍《蒙娜丽莎》的资料片，当年达芬奇的名画《蒙娜丽莎》运去美国纽约展出时，专派特别的舰队护送，美国总统肯尼迪亲自迎接； 在俄罗斯展出期间，有俄罗斯妇女在画前泪流满面，许多的她们为一生中很可能就这么一次机会看这幅画而感动； 在日本受到疯狂地朝拜，《蒙娜丽莎》不说几乎成了全人类至少也是西方的Icone，我不禁在自问：为什么？ 是《蒙娜丽莎》那不喜不悲的神情？是她的美？什么是美？什么是人性美？美的力量在哪？如果蒙娜丽莎在中国展出又会怎样？在卢浮宫保护这幅名画的防弹玻璃橱前， 举起相机的游客中不少是来自亚洲的
我在寻找答案时， 看到了这幅画， 这幅画中美神Nymph 美丽不比蒙娜丽莎差， 是蒙娜丽莎那不喜不悲，平和，尤其是那幅画的经历和神秘获得世人的特别关注？
美是什么？ 用五官和心感受觉得好就好就美， 只是有的感官跑得快，下结论早，而心灵感受需要多些时间；也随着人的生活阅历， 五官判断有时并不是那么重要，渐渐让位于：心灵， 心灵感受的美永远不会过时和退色的
在慢慢寻找答案的同时， 自己先摘一段来学习：
《美，哲学概念，一般指“某一事物引起人们愉悦情感的一种属性”。汉字“美”是由“羊”和“大”组成，由此而延伸出其它美的含义。但是各个时代或者民族对于美的定义是不同的。在甲骨文中，美写作戴羽毛头饰的妇女，与“每”同源，都表示漂亮、好看的意思。《庄子·齐物论》：“毛嫱丽姬，人谓美也；鱼见之深入，鸟见之高飞。”鲁迅先生曾经把“美”解释成“戴帽子的太太”。钱钟书曾引了伏尔泰一段话：“何谓美？询之雄蛤蟆，必答曰‘雌蛤蟆是也’。”
美的哲学定义：美是具体事物的组成部分，是具体环境、现象、事情、行为、物体对人类的生存发展具有的特殊性能、正面意义和正价值，是人们在密切接触具体事物，受其刺激和影响产生了愉悦和满足的美好感觉后，从具体事物中分解和抽取出来的有别于丑的相对抽象事物或元实体。
美是具体事物的组成部分，美不能够离开具体事物单独存在。《道德经》说：“天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已；皆知善之为善，斯不善已。”》wiki
Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction.[citation needed] Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection.[citation needed]
The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being.[citation needed] Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."[1] In its most profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence.[citation needed] A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with personal meaning.[citation needed]
The classical Greek noun for "beauty" was κάλλος, kallos, and the adjective for "beautiful" was καλός, kalos. The Koine Greek word for beautiful was ὡραῖος, hōraios,[2] an adjective etymologically coming from the word ὥρα, hōra, meaning "hour." In Koine Greek, beauty was thus associated with "being of one's hour."[3]
A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful. In Attic Greek, hōraios had many meanings, including "youthful" and "ripe old age
