Person devoted to the beauty of art (8)

I believe the answer is:

aesthete

(Other definitions for aesthete that I've seen before include "Sensitive chap" , "Person appreciating the beauty of art" , "Lover of art and beauty" , "One who professes great sensitivity to the beauty of art" , "Estate he settled on lover of beautiful things" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
