Yes. And since we (collectively) have access to many of the objects made
accross time and culture; our frame of reference, I think, is sufficiently
wide to explore them as a class of "beautiful objects". I think an
understanding of beauty can best gained by exploring those objects wich are
excellent examples of this class. Beauty is a multi- cultural concept not
limited to time. Our understanding of beauty has changed with time but I
suspect that beauty itself has not .
