...but beautifully true?
What does "– but beautifully true?" mean at the end of the following paragraph?
A lot of performance art presents the world as an irrational and indifferent place where pathos is met with bathos – Brian Catling, Bobby Baker, Gary Stevens or the performance groups whose very names indicate where they stand – Ridiculusmus, Improbable Theatre, Frantic Assembly, Forced Entertainment. Such work is often brilliant, funny, caustic, astute, poignant– but beautifully true?

I suppose the writer is asking the reader a rhetorical question.
It is caustic ... , but isn't it also beautifully true?
