Danto, Arthur C.
On public art and the public interest
Art News, p208

Avoids public art conferences because of the invective between elitists and philistines; usefulness of art denied when this was hammered out in the 18th cent. Kant's 'Critique of Aesthetic Judgement'; art and utility are not mutually exclusive; fountains of Rome exalt their art by making a powerful statement about their function; Burton et al do not do this; public are being taught lessons thru' artistic practical jokes; plea for a genuine p.a. that serves genuine social needs.
