Alright clay buddies

Now my questions is
Why is Beauty being Antiquated with Aesthetic soundness of great work?
I have seen may great works that were by no means Beautiful but were and
are the most awesome work I had ever seen. Some so hideous, they make me
feel like trowing up or running away from them screaming. Aesthetics
are the foundation and Structure that hold these work up as great art.
Aesthetic do not always need to be cotton candy, sugar coated, sun
setting on a voluptuous bare breasted woman(or man) on the beach, with
everything in exact harmonious relationship, and they most certainly
would not match the couch, the cabinets or any other house hold items.
When and why is being Aesthetically Beautiful a prerequisite to being
Great Art?

Thank
Mark
