A photographer also understands this very well:
"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what
it may, -- light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful."
- John Constable, painter (11 Jun 1776-1837)

Even an ugly person can be made to look very attractive in the right settings, as well as a beautiful person may look terrible with the wrong settings. The artist that understands this can make a "silk purse from a sow's ear". Some of the subjects painted by the great masters were not the most beautiful people, but they brought out the beauty with creative use of light.
