A Clockwork Orange

It may be difficult to argue that beauty is found often in A Clockwork Orange, mainly due to the brutal subject matter and events. Most people wouldn't find much art or beauty in slums or violence, excepting of course the romanticized portraits of such dark aspects of life. The addition of a reality, alternate realities, or even the lack of any reality, becomes critically important when viewing an artist's creation. It may or may not be purposeful, which does lend itself to chaos. Art refuses consistency and deviates from any mold it is placed in. It defies dictionaries and is far from universal. Art is chaos. Art is how we perceive chaos, and attempt to define the undefinable. Why is it that a piece can evoke such emotion even when so little of it is understood? The viewer doesn't need to know anything about the medium, the techniques, the process of creation, or the artist in order to judge the piece and react to it. I suppose the slang language used in the underworld of A Clockwork Orange is the most obvious example of art and creation in the novel, or at least that's how it appears to me. There is something artful about deception and manipulation; the medium just changes from inanimate objects to other people.
