But it's hard to argue that they could exceed the beauty of the thing that they reflect.

Only if you're looking for objective value of paint on a canvas, or words on a page. What I think is beautiful about art is the way it makes people feel, and the complexity of the human context that allows that. Just this week, a story caused my fiancée to have a breakthrough in her CPTSD therapy. That's a unique kind of beauty
