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" >??
I, on the other hand, love modern art. In particular I'm a fan of Lawren Harris, M.C. Escher, and Piet Mondriaan.
And quite frankly, I do not generally find Miss Universe contestants attractive, or beauty pageants worthwhile. My tastes run more towards androgyny (men with long hair, and tomboyish women). I also can't fathom what other women see in so-called "hunks."
Subjective. Definitely subjective.
