of Oscar Wilde 's novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde explains his famous words "All art us quite useless." He goes on to profess that a flower is useless in the same way, in how it blossoms for its own joy. All we gain from it is nothing but a moment oh joy to witness its blooming. Wilde stands behind the belief that art is useless because the art itself serves no purpose but to be beautiful. Furthermore that any value we give it is due to “misuse” of the art. The reality is, however, that…
