Additional quotes by Théophile Gautier

L'art pour l'art signifie, pour les adeptes, un travail dégagé de toute préoccupation autre que celle du beau en lui-même.

Oui, l'œuvre sort plus belle
D'une forme au travail
Rebelle,
Vers, marbre, onyx, émail.

There is nothing truly beautiful but that which can never be of any use whatsoever; everything useful is ugly.
