Maybe, but all of those are context-dependent and can operate at high levels of abstraction. The beholder needs to be able to recognize them to appreciate them. A Rothko or Pollock has those things, but that doesn’t make them automatically appreciated. Assuming you’re from a western culture, listen to some Thai classical music and see how obvious the beauty is to you.
