We tend to push simplicity: “all things should be as simple as they can be.”  And this is probably best.  It’s harder to mess up simple things.  Think about architecture.  It’s hard to go wrong with columns and arches and domes (assuming they are constructed properly).  But, ultimately, it’s about elegance, not simplicity.

Very few people are skilled enough in an art to highlight complexity.  But, it exists and it’s part of the world.

It’s also beautiful.
