Beauty is in the eye of the beholder


Explanation:
When the word beautiful is used the adjective is subjective. The perception that a person, thing, feeling, emotion or vision is beautiful is one that is a purely personal evaluation.

When one visits an art gallery and looks at a painting one may well pass an opinion on to someone standing next to you... "I think that painting is beautiful". The other person could reply that they do not think that the painting is beautiful, but that the dress worn by the subject in the painitng is beautiful.

To be graded as beatiful in the sense of fashion puts a slightly different emphasis on the word. Instead of the perception being a solely individual assessment the word fashion begins to pull the adjective towards a description of what is the socially accepted mode of that moment. In the Renaisance era the larger female form was fashionably beautiful, because the socially acceptable shape was of that type. In the later Victorian era the large female rear end was excentuated by the addition of bustles to ones dress - and was deemed beautiful. Nower days fashionable beauty tends towards the swelt or "fit" appearance.

Has beaty changed?
