Язык: английскийКоллекция произведений современного искусства (1917).A working definition of art must be based upon art, not as it might be in ideal conditions, but as it is and has been in the history of the world. This needs the sacrifice of many preferences and prejudices, and even the temporary disregard of some principles. But it does not mean lowering the standard of criticism. On the contrary, it means keeping it up ; that we agree to disregard our principles rather than tamper with them, to broaden our definition of art rather than flatter examples to make them square with it.
