The Aesthetic Movement began in the late 19th century, mainly in Britain, and was led by figures such as Oscar Wilde and James Whistler. This movement emphasized "art for art's sake," meaning that art should be appreciated for its beauty and form rather than for any moral, political, or social message. Artists and designers involved in the Aesthetic Movement focused on creating works that were visually pleasing and well-crafted, often including delicate patterns and rich colors. Writers and poets in the movement also aimed to use beautiful and stylish language to create works valued for their beauty and style alone, not for any deeper meaning or lesson. Their goal was to emphasize art's ability to bring pleasure and increase the experience of beauty in everyday life.
