ABSTRACT
What in the first instance is known to us under current conceptions of a work of art may be subsumed under the three following determinations:
1. A work of art is no product of Nature. It is brought into being through the agency of man. 2. It is created essentially for man; and, what is more, it is to a greater or less degree delivered
from a sensuous medium, and addressed to his senses. 3. It contains an end bound up with it.
