"Aesthetic' by Benedetto Croce,1901

..
Art is intuition,
and intuition is the expression of impressions.
.
A sense impression or image becomes an expression,or intuition,
when it is clearly known as an image,
and when it is unified by the feeling it represents.
.
The externalization of works of art by fashioning of physical objects which will serve as stimuli in the reproduction of the intuitions represented is not art.
.
Art is not concerned with :
the useful,
the moral,or
the intellectual.
.
The fanciful combining of images is not art.
.
Intuitions are of individuals,not universals.
.
The theoretical activity of the spirit has two forms :
the aesthetic and the logical ;
the practical activity is composed of :
the economic and the moral.
.
The aesthetic values are :
the beautiful and the ugly ;
the logical values are :
the true and the false ;
the economic values are :
the useful and the useless ;
and the moral values are :
the just and the unjust.
