A popular quote from the 3rd century and true to anything you happen to be beholding.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

From a subjective
stance, beauty is what you make of it, what your preference is, what calls to
your heart, soul and mind.
In objective view(Object views are often what society has decided is so.) is ' beauty means perfection,
absolute precision and the essence of purity'.
Leo Tolstoy, a Great Russian author, sums up art beautifully –
“The activity of art is based on the capacity of people to infect others with their own emotions and to be infected by the emotions of others.
Strong emotions, weak emotions, important emotions or irrelevant emotions, good emotions or bad emotions – if they contaminate the reader, the spectator, or the listener – it attains the function of art.”
Winckelmann, a German Art Historian,
claimed that beauty boiled down to three key factors
The beauty of form,The beauty of an idea,The beauty of expression, which, he says, is only possible in the presence of the first two factors.

So then, beauty must be the highest form of expression and in turn, the highest aim of art.
Another visionary, Victor Cherbuliez, saw art as an activity which
- satisfies our innate love of images
- introduces ideas into these images
- And gives pleasure simultaneously to our senses, heart and reason.
By
his interpretation of art, beauty is then just an illusion.
Beauty, possibly, doesn’t exist and there is no absolute beauty in this world.
Beauty, possibly, doesn’t exist and there is no absolute beauty in this world.
Beauty is what we see
as characteristic and harmonious.
Every piece of art,
whether a painting, a vase or a statue, will have different colours, lines and
textures which will appeal to your soul and heart.What feelings these art pieces bring about in you, will in turn help you to decide whether the art is beautiful or not.
