Beauty

This word has been popping up in the majority of the chapters we have been reading, so I decided to think about this word a little more in depth. Beauty I feel is a word that has many definitions and can be used to described many different things. A sunset can be beautiful, a melody could be beautiful, we call people beautiful everyday, and whenever I bake or cook sometimes I feel the end result is "too beautiful to eat." Websters dictionary describes beauty as "the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit." This is the underlying universal foundation of beauty. What I mean by universal meaning is that we could all agree that when we find something beautiful as humans a particular emotion goes through us. No matter who we are, how old we are, what nationality, sex, orientation, religion, etc, when we find something that is pleasing to us or when something stirs our mind and spirit in pleasurable way we deem and label that thing as beautiful. The concept of beauty that is different is when we try to answer the question WHAT is beautiful and when we try to define in WHAT sense is something beautiful and HOW can we deem something as beautiful. That is when the topic of taste comes in and taste is the subject that differs from person to person. The sensation of beauty is inclusive, however the definition is exclusive from person to person.
I do believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that beauty is in the mind of the definer. Everyone has their own concept and characteristics for beauty. In Bells case he calls beauty "combination of lines and colors that provoke aesthetic emotion." In early times beauty was looked at as a pure spiritual thing. As time progresses beauty is becoming more objective and physiological. I don't think there should really be an argument as to what makes something beautiful or what doesn't because we all have our own individual concepts as to what makes things beautiful. There is no one truth to beauty, instead there are many. With that said, my question is why do we feel the need to place a label on art? Why not just let art exist and whatever people deem as art let it then be called art and what certain people don't deem as art then let not be art?
