Abstract: Marx puts forth the proposition “Labour creates beauty” in his “Economic philosophy Manuscript 1844".The labour here mainly refers to alienated labour.And the alienated labour is the labour that alienates men's nature.It possesses a function of dissolving and destroying man's creation of beauty.However,the law of labour itself and its creative ability can still help man maintain a certain non-alienation,which enables man to restore himself rationally,dynamically and realistically and to create beauty in his objectified labour.The removal of alienated labour is the basis of man's emancipation as well as the condition for the emancipation of beauty creation power.

Key words: labour, alienation, beauty creation, man's inorganic body
