Re: Is art has to do with beauty?
imo, there are consensual truths of this type, based on common experiences and sound reasoning that I would call inter-subjective; many people would respond positively to a rose in full bloom; there would be a shared truth in it's beauty.

Re: Is art has to do with beauty?
Reacting to a rose is not a shared truth. It's a personal experience. After the experience we can all talk about it but then we are using words so we are displaced from the reality and trying to express a memory. The rose just sits there. We provide the context and associations. We feel the feelings. We determine the paradigm and the parameters. Then we tell others what we have done and, if they agree with our words, we have reached a truth? Nope, we just looked at a rose and said wow, that was nice.

You sound like the physics tutor who I listened to on Monday. He was teaching symmetries.Newtonian mainly. Personally, I doubt if art will teach the mind of God before science gets there.By the way, if a truth is not absolute how can it be true? Is Tuesady good for it, but Friday not so much? Is it true in Sicily but not in Jakarta? Beliefs are surely not truths.

Sounds a little circular to me.

But someone might make a paper copy on a photocopier. Or someone else might make a copy from a mould and not destroy the mould and then make more and more copies each one indistinguishable from all the others, there being not even a master copy.
