The essay argues that genuine art must convey sincere, morally rooted feeling and criticizes modern artistic practice for prioritizing shock, aesthetic pleasure, technical display, or sensuality over moral sincerity. It surveys forms from literature and music to visual arts, accuses contemporary creators and institutions of producing costly, hollow spectacles that encourage passivity or refined indulgence rather than ethical engagement, and contrasts these failings with older religious and epic works that exemplify communicative moral force. The author proposes a strict criterion for artistic value based on moral clarity and truthful emotional transmission.
