Do aesthetic values have a place in the description of this image? Or should we instead emphasize aesthetic virtues?

Max Ernst – La mer et le soleil, 1926

Values are synthetic a priori dicta established by some arbitrary authority, while virtues rather reflect the subjective activity of enjoyment and appreciation. To each his own, though I should be remis were I not to point out that in ethics and moral philosophy the values vs. virtues distinction carries significant political implications.
