The full appropriation of "beauty" requires a fully developed subjective capability. So too does the creation of the highest forms of the objectively "beautiful".
"Materialism" of the kind now dominant also has no logical space for the "subjectivity" of beauty in this sense, since it has no logical space for the the kind of "subject" it requires.
