In art, immorality cannot exist. Art is always sacred.
Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.
The morality of art is in its very beauty.
As a general truth, it is safe to say that any picture that produces a moral impression is a bad picture.
I cannot be convinced that great artists are moralists. Art is first appearances, then meaning.
I don't think we should be deceived that art is such a moral thing.
It should be quite clear that it is possible for unpleasant people who are small in various ways other than in their artistic genius to produce great art. Art and morality have no necessary connection.
The morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
All high beauty has a moral element in it.
