1. “The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. That is to say, real art takes no part in molding the social or moral identities of society, nor should it. Art had no moral responsibility. Art, should strive only to be a beautiful object entirely separate from its creator.”
