/kloc-bourgeois literary thoughts popular in Europe at the end of 0/9. Advocating "art for art's sake", thinking that "art does not reflect life, and life imitates art", flaunting that literature and art are divorced from politics, opposing the social education function of literature and art, unilaterally pursuing artistic skills, and reversing the relationship between art and life are actually beautifying the decadent life of individualism in the asset stage by employing artificial art forms. It was first advocated by Gautier of France; The representative writer is Wilde of England. In theory, Pate in Britain has systematized it. In painting, there is a tendency to be divorced from real life, empty in content and gorgeous in appearance.
Wilde's writing style is also aestheticism. He is the representative of British aestheticism in the19th century. In addition, Wilde also emphasized "egoism", believing that only by exposing oneself unabashedly and boldly writing contradictions, desires and sins can works be vivid and touching, and moral hypocrisy can be abandoned. I feel that his Salome can be said to be the highest embodiment of his above thoughts.
