"Each object is in reality a small virtual volcano."

(Helene Cixous)

That is why it's not frivolous to write about beautiful things. And why it is wrong for people to assume that if you write about beautiful things, you can't comprehend or articulate the other. Appreciate the object, but don't objectify. Soak in the beauty but keep alive to what is ugly - and if you can change the ugly, do. If you can't, then barricade its pernicious ways and flick the switch so that it can be seen.
