You wrote, "Excuse me aesthetic judgments comes from within! I am not talking about humanist art...."
Aesthetic judgment is an aspect of critical thinking. Critical thinking is taught--from without. One isn't born with the ability to evaluate artistic merit. Unlike artistic talent, another thing entirely, aesthetic judgment is a learned attribute.
I don't know exactly what you mean by 'humanist art'. If you're saying that religiously inspired, spiritually oriented art is somehow held to a different standard, you're mistaken. El Greco's work, for example, is deeply religious, largely intended to bring those viewing his pictures closer to God. Even so, El Greco adhered to the same classically inspired, 'humanist' standard of his more secular contemporaries.

some things on this earth just elevate ones senses to such pleasure and appreciation!
