CREATE AN AUTONOMOUS WORK OF ART
Autonomy meant that art followed its own rules. This was first described by the 18th-century philosopher Immanuel Kant. Neither is there any external interest (such as that of the church or the aristocracy) commanding the arts, nor is the perception of art guided by any particular political, religious, moral or social interest; a point which romanticism later radicalised to l’art pour l’art. Art for art’s.
