One who pursues and appreciates aesthetics is called an aesthete. It's not a bad thing to be. One can absolutely be an ascetic aesthete without any cognitive dissonance.

That was the print on the wall of my dentist office when I was 6.

It's burned into my brain and hopelessly associated with waiting and teeth.

I've been reading up on aesthetics today. The Wikipedia article has everything from philosophy to psychology to politics. What a ride.
