Bio:



The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
    To reveal art and concel the artist is art's
      aim.

The critic is he who can translate into another man-
ner or a new material his impression of beautiful
things.
    The highest as the lowest form of criticism
    is a mode of autobiography.

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things
are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
        Those who find beautiful meanings in
        beautiful things are the cultivated. For
        these there is hope.

    They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean
    only beauty.
      There is no such thing as a moral or an im-
      moral book. Books are well written, or
      badly written. That is all.

The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage
of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.
      The nineteenth century dislike of ro-
      manticism is the rage of Caliban not
      seeing his own face in a glass.

    The moral life of man forms part of the sub-
    ject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art
    consists in the perfect use of an imperfect
    medium.

    No artist desires to prove anything. Even things
    that are true can be proved.
      No artist has ethical synpathies. An ethical
      sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable
      mannerism of style.
        No artist is ever morbid. The artist
        can express everything.

    Thought and language are to the artist instru-
    ments of an art.
      Vice and virtue are to the artist materials
      for an art.

From the point of view of form, the type of all the
arts is the art of the musician. From the point of
view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type.
        All art is at once surface and sym-
        bol.

Those who go beneath the surface do so at
their peril.
    Those who read the symbol do so at their
    peril.

It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mir-
rors.
    Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows
    that the work is new, complex, and vital.
      When critics disagree, the artist is in accord
      with himself.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as
long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for
making a useless thing is that one admires it in-
tensely.
        All art is quite useless.
