This document discusses the nature of art and beauty. It questions whether anything can be universally considered art or beautiful, since these concepts are subjective. It explores how jokes and taste in art are based on personal views and cultural context. While consensus and experience shape what a culture considers to have "good" or "bad" taste, individuals are still free to reject those norms. Ultimately, it raises the debate between objectivism, which sees certain formal qualities in art as objectively better, versus subjectivism, which sees art solely as a form of personal expression.
