Is art subjective?
#24
RE: Is art subjective?
There is no objective beauty.
The fact that there are a lot of supposedly "objective" definitions of what is beautiful and what isn't shows further that beauty is entirely subjective and depends on the culture and location.

You're confusing absolute beauty with objective beauty. If 99% of people in society A consider beauty B to be beautiful, then it's an objective beauty standard for society A, and 1% of disagreement won't erase the general rule
An objective standard never has no inconsistency or disagreement within itself. You also seem to appeal to popularity.
