The only thing clear about it is that itis unused and new. Art, in the past was always considered inferior towhat it reflected. Tolstoy in his book what is art? ,even thoughhe himself saw the importance of art reduced art to an absurdity andvalued it in terns of other(a) things and not for it self. That art hadnot the right to exist for itself ,that i t should be judged and valuednot for itself but for other subsidary effects whether political,social, or moral. Such a conception reduces art to nothing and thisconception is the opposite of what art truly is.Shelly in his piddle defense of poetry considered art to be judged bythe ethical and expert benefits it showered upon military man. Jonsonspoke uncompromisingly on the nature of art. Dr jonson regretted theloss of a proposed heroic poem by dryden because it led to the deprivation ofthe social and moral edification of mankind .what jonson meant wasthat arts function was to socially improve and morally sort out theviewer ,reader or observor of the work of art. Clutton brock opposesthis view and says on the contrary if a pieceof art is lost today itsloss would be mourned not for the value it could or would impart butrather it would be mourned for the loss of art itself.However jonson thought as he did of art because he already had preconceived otions about art and had not exa mined art carefully to seethe nature of it. If jonson had done so ,he would have seen that artin truth is neer valued for moral or ethical or cultural set butfor itself. For Jonson himself would not have read poetry for thestated objects . had he doen so then it would have no longer beenpoetry.Ever since art evolved man has valued art for itself ,without actuallyknowing it,for men slake look for reasons as to why they should value
