Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.

Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.

The business of art lies just in this, -- to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.

If only it be admitted that art may be unintelligible to any one of sound mind and yet be art, there is no reason why any circle of perverted people should not compose works tickling their own perverted feelings and comprehensible to no one but thems

Art is a human activity having for its purpose the transmission to others of the highest and best feelings to which men have risen.

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
