Spanish term

curva de la belleza

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is from a text by a contemporary artist from Mexico, She treats this as an established figure, like a circle or half moon, but I am not sure what she is getting at:

Adolfo Best Maugard propone siete líneas primarias para construir gráficamente cualquier forma de la naturaleza: espiral, medio círculo cortado, círculo, curva de la belleza, línea ondulada, línea en zig-zag y línea recta.

Thanks
