Theory Of Art For Art / Poetry For Poetry -An Analytical And Critical Study

Abstract

This research aims to establish a conceptual framework for the theory of "Art for Art's Sake" as a fundamental element in analyzing the qualitative arguments that have arisen within this theory, both in support and opposition. The study explores the legitimacy of pure art and delves into the necessity of liberating art from ideological constraints. The research utilizes a descriptive methodology based on analytical and deductive approaches, addressing several questions such as: What is meant by the theory of "Art for Art's Sake"? What justifies its existence? Why does the theory emphasize the need to free art from ideological biases?

The research arrives at several conclusions, including: The theory of "Art for Art's Sake" advocates for pure art liberated from moral and ideological purposes, focusing solely on the aesthetic beauty of art itself. This theory establishes boundaries to safeguard the sanctity of art while also inviting criticism, as favoring pure aesthetic qualities over other purposes has not been widely accepted by critics, as it may diminish the role of art in society.
