No artist, no poet, no philosopher and no musician whose thinking occurs in the highest sphere would degenerate into vulgarity in order to comply with a slogan such as “Art for All”. Because if it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art. (. . .) One thinks only for the sake of one’s idea.
And thus art can only be created for its own sake. An idea is born; it must be molded, formulated, developed, elaborated, carried through and pursued to its very end.
Because there is only “l’art pour l’art”, art for the sake of art alone.Arnold Schönberg in Style and Idea: Selected Writings of Arnold Schoenberg p. 124
