The Bible speaks of a skilled goldsmith as the first person to be "filled with the Spirit". These more to art than mere expression, though there's more that can be art than what your normalfag typically considers artist media.
If art was mere expression, then the most expressive medium would be the "artistic ideal", which at the moment is programming. But we have seen that this is never the case that your average programmer is the best of cross-artistic fields, let alone their own craft just from looking at all the Pajeet code on Github or Youtube or /g/ horror stories. We have the term "programmer art" for a reason.
Beauty is harder to define than goodness and truthfulness, because on objective foundations you have blessed subjectivity involved to allow for a diversity of output and tastes, like Southerners enjoying fried chicken and sweet tea more than Japanese who like sushi and green tea more. What that never means is that you cannot come to an objective definition of beauty and what things are beautiful or ugly. The Shulamite is the most beautiful of women. Woe to the man, hating the concept of objective and moral beauty and objective and moral art, who fights against God the Holy Spirit who inspired Solomon to write those exact words (Songs 1:8).
