What is beautiful and what is not?

Who set the standards of what is beautiful

and what is not?
The concept of what is beautiful is not just
personal but also subjective.
So something that might be beautiful to me
might not be beautiful to you.
Several factors can influence this
perception, such as our aesthetic and
cultural references, knowledge of different Fonte: Gagosian

natures (artistic, historical, social and

political) and our individual and collective
experiences.
What is beautiful and what is not?

Detail 1
Take a look at the picture of the famous
painter Frida Khalo, called ‘The Two Fridas’
(1939).
Probably, if you were shown detail 1 of this
painting, you would find it a nice gesture.
But when we look at some other details of
the same painting, we can either change
this perception, judging ugly the details
with blood, or reaffirm that even with every
sad part there is still something that
validates the concept of beauty.
