‘Art for Art’s Sake’

"Art for art's sake" is the usual English rendition of a French slogan, from the early 19th century, ''l'art pour l'art'', and expresses a philosophy that the intrinsic value of art, and the only "true" art, which refuses any instructive, moral or utilitarian function. Such works are sometimes described as "autotelic", “complete in itself”.

Art should be created for the sake of art. Art does not have to depend on societal directive or values. Art must be complete with in itself. Artist should be free from the bondage of societal doctrine and rules.
