Excerpt from The Gate Beautiful: Principles and Methods in Vital-Art and Education
Art-for-art's-sake may be very fine, but art-for-progress is finer still. To dream of castles in Spain is well; to dream of Utopia is better. Some pure lovers of art discard the formula, 'art - for-progress,' the beautiful-useful, fearing lest the useful should deform the beautiful. They tremble to see the drudge's hand attached to the muse's arm. According to them the ideal may become perverted by too much contact with real ity. They are solicitous for the sublime if it descends as far as to humanity. Ah; they are in error! The useful, far from cir cumscribing the sublime, enlarges it. Is Aurora less splen did, clad less in purple and emerald; suffers she any diminution of majesty and radiant grace - because foreseeing an insect's thirst, she carefully secretes in the flower the dewdrop needed by the bee William Shakespeare, by Victor Hugo.
The Needs of the people are greater and more complex to day than at any previous period in history. A full stomach no longer suffices for the toiler. Thanks to the printing-press and the freedom inaugurated by the Reformation and carried for ward by the great revolutions of the last one hundred and twenty-five years, the millions now demand food for the Imagi nation and for the Intellect. The Lighter Side of Life must be ministered to - not of a life, not of the life of a class or of a priv ileged few, but of All the People.
