Quote by Oscar Wilde

An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them.

An artist should create beautiful things, but should put not

Summary

This quote suggests that an artist's work should be aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing, focusing solely on creating beauty. However, it warns against infusing personal experiences, emotions, or narratives into the artwork. The idea behind this perspective is that personal elements might overshadow or distract from the pure expression of beauty, allowing the audience to appreciate and interpret the artwork on its own merit without being influenced by the artist's individual story. It advocates for a more detached approach, emphasizing the importance of creating something universally attractive rather than conveying personal sentiments.
