Bad taste yes, but bad taste is subjective. Morality (should be) objective, so it's one thing to say "I don't like this" (I don't like it either), and another thing to say "nobody should like this".
Morality isn't black and white. It's somewhat bad to be killing ants but let's not say it's on the same level as killing sentient life. It's just a rather shitty thing to do.
Considering the very thing that is the object of beauty, it seems perverse to have destroyed it and its forebearers in entirety to produce it. Something akin to a buffoon's take on art.
