01637--art for art's sake

 Art for art's sake  is the slogan of aestheticism in the 19th century, often given in its French form as Vart pourl'art. The most important early manifesto for the idea, Theophile Gautier's preface to his novel Mademoiselle de Maupin (1835), does not actually use the phrase itself, which is a simplified expression of the principle adopted by many leading French authors and by Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, and Arthur Symons in England.
