If there is objective truth, then there is objective beauty. Just as deserts and forests are beautiful. It doesn't matter what your observable traits are, as long as you are being true to your human nature.

If truth had anything to do with beauty we wouldn't have art, the essential lie. An objective truth can be there is no objective beauty.

Is there a reason why Art is inherently deceptive? I'd say Art represents an interpretation of Truth, which makes it beautiful

Many things are an interpretation of truth, but art creates beauty where none exists. The deception is valuable in itself. It creates a beauty, a love, and gives it to others.

Art shows that uninterpreted, pure truth doesn't hold inherent value.
