 Aestheticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aesthetic movement is a loosely defined movement in art and literature in later nineteenth century Britain.
The artists and writers of the Aesthetic movement tended to hold that the Arts should provide refined sensuous pleasure, rather than convey moral or sentimental messages.
Decadent writers used the slogan, coined by the philosopher Victor Cousin and promoted by Théophile Gautier in France, "Art for Art's Sake" (L'art pour l'art) and asserted that there was no connection between art and morality.

  We identify six aesthetic modalities central to dance and discuss evidence for an underlying “aesthetic instinct” central to “gestic form,” including dance’s relation to traditional notions of beauty and composition, the role of the physics of movement in creating “virtual gesture,” and the importance of dance education both inside and outside the arts.
  This is so because rhythmic movement is the basis of art, play, and work, according to Laban (Laban and Lawrence, 1974) and because movement injects itself into all intellective activities: the balanced flow and harmony of ordered movement.

 Historical Overviews of the Black Arts Movement
Baraka reminded the reader that his disagreement with the new black aesthetic elite was not to say that there was no such thing as a black aesthetic, but that his conception of a black aesthetic manifested itself in his definition of it differently than it did for others.
Baraka was by far the strongest voice in the movement, and when he changed his ideas and said that before he had been absolutely wrong about his views on black art and that now his Leninist/Marxist vision was absolutely correct, many of his adherents lost faith.
The basic tenets of the movement included the ideas that art by black Americans could never be accepted by white Americans, and separate criteria needed to be developed by black artists to appraise properly the talent of black artists.
