Description: This book presents aestheticism of the 19th century as a philosophical theory, and as the source of modernist and formalist aesthetics and art of the 20th century. It analyzes the definition of art formulated by Oscar Wilde, Walter Pater, and James Whistler, and their theory of form and content, art's autonomy and ontology, criticism, and musicality.
