based on either the English
passage or the Marathi passage :

The distinction that modern artists
and art critics make between the
arts, on the one hand, and crafts,
on the other, was foreign to classical
antiquity. Both arts and crafts were
regarded by the ancient Greeks as
“productions according to rule” and
both were classified as techne, which
can be translated as “organized
knowledge and procedure applied for
the purpose of producing a specific
preconceived result.” This concept
runs directly counter to the deeply
ingrained    insight    of   modern
aesthetic thought that art cannot be
reduced to rule, cannot be produced
in accordance with pre-established
concepts or rules, and cannot be
evaluated using a set of rules
reducible to a formula.

The Greek concept, with its
attendant      notion     that    the
appropriate criterion for judging
excellence in both the arts and the
                                         7                      [P.T.O.

JAN - 00118/I—A
crafts was the “perfection” of their
production, predominated until the
middle of the eighteenth century,
when the French aesthetician
Charles Batteux heralded the idea
that what distinguishes the arts
from the crafts and the sciences is
the arts’ production of beauty. This
idea lasted until the beginning of the
present century when some critics
argued that “beauty” was a highly
ambiguous term, far too broad and
indefinite for the purpose of defining
or evaluating art, while, on the other
hand, many artists expressly
repudiated “beauty” because of its
too narrow associations with an
outmoded view that art was
beautiful and therefore should not
be evaluated or analyzed, but
should merely be appreciated. Since
1900, a large number of definitions
of art have emerged, each of them
covering a sector of accepted creative
and critical practice but none of
them, apparently, are applicable to
the whole of what is accepted as art
by the art world.
