“Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist's inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated...The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life... The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.” MenNeedsArtRealFeelingsSpiritualArtistCausesPleasureWifeHusbandArt IsConsequenceGainsProductionsOriginalityIntroductionProstitutionIntercourseOrnamentsAffectionatePerversionCounterfeitWeakeningSpiritual StrengthNew Feelings Author:Leo Tolstoy
