I can demonstrate this easily: If beauty were objective, we would all agree on what is beautiful and what is not beautiful. We don't. One person's "Hubba hubba!" is another person's "Meh" or "Ew!"
I think modern art with it's "scribbles" and abstraction is a distortion of "beauty".
If beauty wasn't objective, then why don't we have the very elderly participating in the Miss Universe
contests? We all get old, but are you going to try for Miss Universe at 99 years of age because you think "Beauty is relative" >??
So are you saying that the person you see as beautiful is beautiful to everyone else? Do you not understand the idea of subjectivity?
As for modern art, some people find that to be the most beautiful thing in the world. Other people consider it ugly. I don't care what you consider it to be. The point is that beauty itself is an abstract idea that everyone sees a bit differently.
