Excerpt from On Art and Artists
There exists a school of aestheticism which laughs contemptuously at the mere sight of this superscrip tion. Art having a mission! What utter nonsense. A person must be a rank Philistine to connect with the idea Of art the conception of a non-artistic mission, be it social or otherwise. Has a work of art any other mission than to give pleasure by beauty? It strives to attain no goal that lies out side of itself. It is its own Object, and whoever assigns to it another, sins against the sanctity Of art.
