If the beast "recognizes" and appreciates beauty,
does that make him a beast?

I beleive that is a no.
Because why would he be a beast if he "appreciated" something beast are uncaring, unfreindly, self centered, annoying, mean things.

This may be one of those yes answers based upon the fact that music can calm the savage soul. We all know that beast have savage souls, music has always been a form of beauty, a beauty that we can always hear and should it not be for the eyes as well as the ears?

Beasts are capable of recognizing beauty too.

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder; no matter how beastly looking the beholder maybe. Besides, a person's looks does not hinder his/her ability to appreciate beauty and/or cherish the aesthetics.

He was only beastly because of his deep loneliness and isolation. The character's "names" are as others see them, and the story speaks of how perceptions may be self-fulfilling, or may be completely wrong, or, that love sees only beauty. "Beauty" is truly beautiful, as we know from her kindness toward her father early in the story. She continues her kindness toward the "Beast," and through her treatment, he is redeemed.
