Table of ContentsReviews"""The golden book of spirit and sense, the holy writ of beauty."" -Oscar Wilde" Author Information"Walter Pater (1839-1894), was an English critic, essayist, and humanist who argued that art exists for the sake of its beauty alone, rather than to teach a lesson, create a parallel, or perform another didactic purpose. ""Art for art's sake"" is a core principle of Aestheticism, the movement he helped found. Pater's exquisite writing style and bold ideas exerted a powerful influence on such writers as Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, Paul Val�ry, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Wallace Stevens and has had lasting influence on the field of art criticism." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
