Dependent beauty as suggested by Kant is the idea that value and worth can only be applied through
relative judgment informed by context. Therefore the merit of a piece can only be appreciated if the
context of it is disseminated. Beauty, perceived dependently certainly provides a formalized notion
of beauty and is often used to rationalize perception, however historically this has also been used to
negative effect and perhaps suggest that true beauty lies in a deep place than just current perception.
Often looking back many significant creative minds have been acknowledge as 'ahead of their time'
and consequently misunderstood which highlights the temporal nature of assigning beauty based on
dependence
