Good art however 'immoral' is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can NOT be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The true artist doesn't substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.
If a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Immoral is choosing not to act when you hold in your hands the power to create perfection.
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.
Art is good, bad, boring, ugly, useful to us or not.
I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.
Good art is art that allows you to enter it from a variety of angles and to emerge with a variety of views.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
