according to kant there are two ways people judge things: they can judge out of their own taste on a particular moment, but also there are things that are above these individual tastes and will appeal to a large number of people. for example mozart's music might not be everyone's taste, but most people will agree that it is beautiful in a way they can't just describe. it's about a beauty that is within the piece itself.

I think most Art isn't formally presented as Art. "Pieces" are the tip of the iceberg. For example, the sound of the Air Conditioning, or, the action of twilight.
