artistic taste
Eye for beauty
Artistic taste is a person's preferences and judgments about art, music, literature, and other creative works.
Someone with good artistic taste is thought to appreciate quality and distinguish the worthwhile from the mediocre.
The phrase often implies cultivation—taste developed through exposure and education rather than instinct alone.
What counts as good taste varies by era, culture, and social class.
