The “biggest” feelings which artwork can also explicit are related to non-secular notion, Tolstoy claims that professionalism reasons a loss of sincerity inside the artist, and argues that is an artist have to earn a residing by way of generating art, then the art that is produced is much more likely to be fake and clumsy. According to Tolstoy, sincerity is the most important quality of any work of art. “bat art” is shallow, repetitious, crude, and clumsy. In assessment, “bad art” lacks spirit in form and content material with the ideas and feelings which it attempts to invoke or constitute. “good artwork” has a shape and content which can be solidarity with the thoughts and emotions which it evokes or represent. He also argues that if it isn’t admitted that art has to be intelligible and understandable, then any unintelligible to incomprehensible expression of mind or emotions may be known as “art.” If any incomprehensible form or personal expression can be called “art”, then the definition of art steadily loses its meaning. Tolstoy defines art as an expression of a sense or revel in one of these manners that can get the target to whom the art is directed at can proportion that feeling, regarding the characters and motive of art, describing how art can express ethical values. He criticizes the belief that art is simplest applicable to a particular elegance of society, pronouncing that this is a misconception that could cause obscurity and decadence of art. Art cannot be described as a interest which produces splendor. Beauty cant be described objectively, and therefore cannot be used as a criterion to define what is, or what isn’t always, artwork. Art is a means of verbal exchange, and is an important approach of expression.

To Tolstoy, the intention of art isn’t merely to provide beauty, or to provide pride, or leisure.
