About this Quote

Alfred de Vigny's quote stresses the importance of comprehending art in relation to its ideal beauty. According to him, aesthetic worth should not be separated from the artistic work itself. Vigny believed that art is a reflection of charm and should be admired and valued appropriately. Using the word "perfect" shows that art should be approached with a particular level of abstraction, elevating it from the ordinary and the daily to something higher. In essence, the quote is a suggestion to the viewer and the critic of the value of considering the aesthetic worth of art and valuing it in its truest type.
