Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of creating art purely for its own sake, without any external purpose or utility, is a luxury afforded by those who are well-off and have the privilege to prioritize aesthetics over practicality. It implies that individuals who have their basic needs met are able to explore artistic endeavors for the sheer enjoyment and indulgence of the process, rather than being concerned with creating art that serves a specific purpose or meets concrete objectives.
