1THE PREFACE The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic
2is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. The highest as the
3lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt
4without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For
5these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or
6an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the
7rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not
8seeing his own face in a glass. The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality
9of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium. No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are
10true can be proved. No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of
11style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. Thought and language are to the artist instruments
12of an art. Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art. From the point of view of form, the type of all the
13arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. All art is at once
14surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their
15peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that
16the work is new, complex, and vital. When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself. We can forgive a man
17for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one
18admires it intensely. All art is quite useless. OSCAR WILDE
