Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

Question

What does this mean to you?

Answer 1

are you serious?  It's not really that deep.

Answer 2

If beauty is in the 'eye' of the beholder, one is living on the periphery. A rose will contain such beauty!

~~~~~

If beauty is within the 'inner heart' of the beholder, one will have discovered contentment, and the beauty known as love will then rule their life!

"Peace be always with you."

Answer 3

We don't know the meaning of true beauty because humans are filled with negativity and judgment. So the only person who can truly see it is someone who has no judgment at all, only understatement.

Answer 4

Beauty is the most opinionated thing in life. Everyone has different views about what and who they find to be beautiful. Everyone is beautiful to someone else.

Answer 5

I am truly sick of this often quoted to death disney version of art. This is what mediocre artists, and people who do not understand art say in order to justify their dullness. This sounds a bit harsh, but to put it into perspective Leonardo took years to complete the last supper and the mona lisa. Michelangelo spent years simultaneously jeopardizing his health painting the ceiling in the sistine chapel. The ineffable experience one gets from viewing these pieces of works are of the most elevating. And in order to fully appreciate them one must acquire a certain level of understanding, in the making of the works, in composition, subject matter, the handling of the subject matter, the use of color, line, space, contrast, etc.. etc.. Yet at the same time you have an artist like Pollock who merely splashes paint on a canvas and we justify this with the quick emergency quote button. Whoever is capable of truly admiring some of the greatest works of art knows it, whoever compares the old masters to the pops of our times clearly knows nothing about it. And I admit there is an aesthetic quality to a warhol, pollock or a mondrian, but their aesthetic quality  is no more different then the pretty wallpaper in my restroom.

Answer 6

What or who I may think is beautiful may not be to someone else... Everyone has different opinions.

Answer 7

The reality is we are all way too different to have the same opinions, and this goes for physical beauty. What you may see as beautiful can look ugly to me. Just as you may like the colour green but I could hate it.

There is nothing more to it truly.

Answer 8

I think beauty is not a simple idea. We can see beauty in two aspects, first, it is a concept which being generally accepted in a society (and usually it is about physical), for example beauty is related with shiny eyes, long eye lashes, pointed  nose, red lips, etc etc.

second it is a subjective and personal interpretation, just for example, although Madonna is generally accepted as being pretty, still one might think she is not (too pointed nose, her eye lashes are fake, etc etc)

Based on those above, both the subject and object person can interpret the beauty their themselves own and the other's
