"When some artist of our time insist that their creations should be called non-art or anti-art, it is understood that the concept "art" connotes those human creations which, in their elevated and venerated sublimity, are detached from all practical purpose. In the present century and in the previous one, the word "art" is generally employed for works whose sole intent is to edify the viewer aesthetically. Thus, such mediaeval or Renaissance objects as a chalice or a monstrance which were expressly created for use in Christian ritual are often called applied art. They may even be listed as "minor art, " which means that they are not regarded as great art or as art proper."
