After typing out my response I don’t know if I totally agree with what I’m saying here. And I don’t know if it even makes much sense but here it is anyway: I think what I’m getting at is you wouldn’t call a proof with an error in it beautiful. Just like you wouldn’t call a useless python class beautiful. The purpose of pure math is finding truths. The purpose a python class is to do something useful. For something to be beautiful it has to complete its purpose (I don’t think I would go so far as utility) as well as be of a beautiful form. Relating this back to traditional art the question becomes what is the purpose of traditional art? Here by traditional art I mean making things with the intention of it being “art” and for people to look at/ hear/feel and doesn’t have other utility.
