I tend to agree. I don't think Morgoth was "ugly" in the way that we normally use the word. I don't think that artists get it right.
However, in their favor, it is very difficult to adequately convey "terror" in a painting. So instead of terror they attempt revulsion.
(They also usually make him too tall, but that is another story.)
