Excellent post, and I think a timely one because our culture is getting uglier day by day, precisely because of this lack of understanding of the relationship of beauty to objective truth. A culture that does not accept objective truth in general will tend to reject it in its art as well. The result is cultural and artistic expression that is progressively less beautiful. This is a topic I would like to take up on my blog as well sometime.
