Immanuel Kant

Beautiful art, on the other hand, is a form of imagination that is purposeful in itself, and although without purpose, nevertheless promotes the culture of the powers of the mind for social communication. writes Kant from Königsberg in 1790 in paragraph 44 of his “Critik der Urtheilskraft” (Criticism of the Power of Judgement), thus laying the foundations for the modern understanding of art.
