Art for Art's Sake is a book written by John C. Van Dyke that explores the concept of art as an end in itself, rather than a means to an end. The book delves into the philosophy and history of art, examining the idea that art should be created solely for its own sake and not for any practical or moral purpose. Van Dyke explores the works of various artists, including the Impressionists, and discusses the role of beauty in art. He also argues against the idea that art should serve a political or social purpose. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature and purpose of art, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of aesthetics.1914. Seven university lectures on the technical beauties of painting. The lectures included in this volume were delivered to students of Princeton College, Columbia College and Rutgers College. Van Dyke writes that modern painting is so largely a matter of taste that no one, not even an artist, is allowed to dogmatize about it, or lay down arbitrary rules for its production. Sometimes a candid statement of one¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s view or preference helps others to a better understanding or a keener enjoyment, which is his intent with the publication of this book.
