The answers to the questions I asked you will be very different if you listen to Aristotle, Michelangelo, Lessing, Joshua Reynolds, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, or Andre Breton. But these are not questions that can be addressed through scientific means.
I studied a lot of art history and opinions about art, and came up with nothing that made much sense to me. People have different preferences because of subjective assessments. That's it.
So yes, it is no wonder that science can't tackle questions about the arts.
