Abstract

This paper aims to study the aesthetics of ugliness in David Lynch's first film <Eraser Head>. First, as a background study, it examines the history of ugliness in the history of beauty and discusses the meaning of ugliness in an aesthetic sense. Furthermore, i will look at the aesthetic theory of Rosenkrantz's Aesthetic Theory, which has developed in-depth discussions about ugliness, and discusses similar or other aspects of opinion. Finally, to demonstrate the aesthetics of the application of ugliness in modern cinema, the specific sound of David Lynch's film <Eraser Head> is analyzed in detail and its relationship with images. Through this discussion, I would like to clarify the aesthetic meaning of ugliness as an aesthetic category in the field of film.
