Question: Is it possible to make something that is objectively beautiful?
“Beauty does lie in the eye of the beholder, but that some beholders are better able to identify that elusive, but existent true beauty.”
This is a good summary for most of the text. It’s basically a nicer way of saying that a person’s opinion is only valid if they have good taste. Being in the arts, I’m definitely guilty of feeling this way about people sometimes, especially if they’re critiquing my work. During my time at Parsons, i’ve noticed that no matter how amazed I am with a person’s work, there will always be another person who doesn’t like it as much, or has something to critique about it. However, I think that anyone can respect the amount of time someone put into their work, especially if the work is very intricate and is well done technically. Because of this, I think that it is somewhat possible for a work to objectively beautiful technically, but not conceptually. It has to with aspects of personal taste, not exactly how refined a person’s taste are, but a matter of preference .
