Abstract

The article discusses a study which examines art expressions and the distinction between the artistic personalities of individuals including artists, artistic people who are not artists, and Philistines in the U.S. According to the author, the distinction between artistic people and Philistines are more of an imaginary than real as many people who claim to be artistic are Philistines while those who claim to be unresponsive to art are only unresponsive to bad art. The theory is said to be also true with artists who paint beautiful pictures but prefer to live in ugly and vulgar homes. The author also pointed on the true order of art which is the first condition of being beautiful including cleanliness and domination of harmony.

13. "Art for Art's Sake".

Author

Krutch, Joseph Wood

Subjects
AESTHETIC movement (Art), TERMS & phrases, PHILISTINES, ETHNOLOGY, AESTHETICS, CULTURAL movements, UTILITARIANISM
Abstract

"Arts for Art's Sake" was a phrase conceived in irritation and adopted as a slogan by men more anxious to startle than to explain. It was directed at the Philistine, and it was not ill suited to the moment which gave it currency. Taken out of its context the phrase is, however, dangerously near to nonsense, and it is a pity that so flip a formula should have become fixed as the accepted designation of an aesthetic doctrine much more persistent and much more meaningful than the formula suggests. The curse of eighteen-ninetyism is heavy upon it, and nothing could be more unfortunate when the enemy happens to be not the Victorian bourgeoisie but the grimmer utilitarians of this sociological age.

Abstract

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli prepared with some ingenuity a couple of surprises in the Queen's Speech, the one to dazzle Philistines on whose active sympathy he confidently calculates, the other to get himself and his Administration out of a serious difficulty. The solemn announcement that the Queen deemed the present a fitting opportunity for making a formal addition to her style and titles in respect that the direct government of India had been transferred to the Crown some twenty years ago, has been received with acclamation by all the retired shopkeepers and villa-occupiers in England, and with regret by everybody else.

Subjects

Abstract

The article focuses on Richard Rovere who writes about the U.S. in foreign publications. For example, Rovere attempted to explain to Englishmen, in the Spectator in 1956, about the Egghead Movement here in America--a revolt of the Intellectuals against the Philistines; the dawn of the new era, led by Adlai Stevenson. Anyone who keeps a weather eye on American political life these days, Rovere continues ecstatically, is familiar with the young woman running a Democratic mimeograph machine or distributing its output and brightening at the mention of some recent polemic in Harper's, some recent triumph of the New York City Center Ballet Company, or some new and startlingly advanced theory of nursery behavior.
