A FACIAL QUESTION

ImageCan the asymmetrical aspects of a face be considered “beauty” when counter balanced against the beauty of facial attraction?

The asymmetry of a face is one of the factors that cause your push/ pull reaction toward a facial image?

Throughout history it has been a common practice of the portrait artist to correct the imbalances in a face to create a pleasing image… *Correcting nature and pleasing a client*

YET: it is the ill-proportions of a face that creates individuality. There by fostering visual questioning and raising interest of the being that lies behind the facial mask?

Does an unaltered face offer more visual depth, color and excitement than the more pleasing corrected image? Can the word visual neutrality replace visual symmetry?

Are facial beauty and facial interest two very different topics?
