Quote by Oscar Wilde

To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim

To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim

Summary

This quote by Oscar Wilde expresses the notion that the true purpose of art is to allow the art itself to be appreciated and interpreted by the audience, rather than focusing solely on the identity or personal details of the artist. The beauty, expression, and impact of art lie in its ability to transcend the individual who created it, creating a space for the audience to connect with their own experiences, emotions, and interpretations. By separating art from its creator, it enables a more universal and diverse understanding, emphasizing the timeless and powerful nature of art itself.

Those that much covet are with gain so fond,For what they have not, that which they possessThey scatter and unloose it from their bond,And so, by hoping more, they have but less;Or, gaining more, the profit of excessIs but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain,That they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.
