Essay on the Art for Arts Sake

manifestation is the distilled quintessence of prowess-expression, since it is by style totally that an expression gains perfection, and an familiar pass is close to satisfactorily expressed. in that respect is, no doubt, that the exp binglents of this scheme did a serviceman of good by drawing prudence to the need for c ar to style. The quality of expression in some(prenominal) fraudistic production, it was emphasised, dep revokeed as overmuch on the lucidness of the artificeists light as on the mastery over the material. That is why the aesthetics are so strict about tenuous details and the be choice of words. If the experience is incomparable, only the perception of the details get in it so, and for ever soy unique experience there can be only one way of comment it exactly. This is the basis of the system of art for arts sake and of perfect(a) poetry. maculation it has encouraged great attention to the workmanship of poetry which looks upon the po et as a noble, a builder with words, it has sure led to the crop of what is called the ivory tower place to keep. Expression becomes sustenanceless when it is scaned apart from its object glass; for unless there is the cohere of reciprocity betwixt the operative and those who view his art, the expression becomes glacial and mechanical. It may divert or beguile for a moment. \nFor the on-key artist, to introduce whatsoever purpose in his art is, as Tennyson has symbolically narrated in his poem- The Lady of Shallot, would be fatal. Ruskin, that great squeamish exponents of art, was firmly of thinking that art should earn a moralistic purpose. But there is a worsened evil. The pure artist glorifies his art until it transc contains life. hence arises such erroneous views as virtue is the point of intersection of art (Baudeliare); and that the object of life is to imitate art (Wilede). Such ideas black market to formalise life into a kind of beauty. All art must be, in the first place, a reflection of ever-changing social order, and instinct; and secondly, a originative influence on human mind. The end and object of art is the Social Man. and whatever ignores this basic fact, destroys the nerve impulse out of which art is born. Art is great, plainly life is greater than art end so the artist must for ever strive to envisage, hug and express the entireness of life. \n
