Titles of movies, books, music, and art do not require an article.
Prefacing "Beauty" with "The" would be appropriate but with the
idiomatic nature of English, and the rules we don't follow, it can be
left out.

It's similar to music group names, "Guns N' Roses", not "The Guns and
Roses", or books, "Patriot Games" instead of "The Patriot Games".
