In the London circles of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Frederic Leighton, the notion of Ùart for art's sakeÎ became a shared concern: if art is not created for the sake of preaching a moral lesson, or supporting a political cause, or making a fortune, or any other objective, what might art be? Art historian Elizabeth Prettejohn traces the emergence of the debates over this issue in the 1860s and 1870s, focusing especially on the Rossetti, Whistler, Leighton, and other protagonists of the Aesthetic Movement and their paintings - some of the most haunting and memorable images in modern art.
