Like so many things, you can find weird stuff that gets called "Taoist" (like ancient Chinese alchemists drinking cinnabar and such in search of immortality), and of course very beautiful stuff, like the poetic writings of Lao Tsu and the teaching stories of Chuang Tsu.
Through history, Taoism has had a strong influence on such things as the Zen school of Buddhism (for example, in its love of natural beauty), and the practice of T'ai Chi (a practical, artistic exercise to cultivate health, balance, and harmony).
