pretty pictures
Pleasing visual art
Images that are visually appealing but lack substance or depth.
The phrase is almost always dismissive or sarcastic, implying superficiality: Anyone can make pretty pictures, but can you tell a story?
Often used to contrast mere aesthetics with meaningful content, rigorous analysis, or practical results: Stop showing me pretty pictures and give me the data.
