'''Humanistic Aestheticism''' was formed by English essayist Walter Pate and [[Oscar Wilde]] as [[aesthetics]] which is more concerned with the individual, the self, than with popular movements like [[Industrialism]] or [[Capitalism]] or [[pop art]]. In their view art was not meant to instruct and should not concern itself with social, moral, or political guidance.  Another tenet of [[humanist]] aestheticism is that the artist’s life was even more important than any work that he produced; his life was to be his most important body of work.

Oscar Wilde was a leader in promoting the [[aestheticism]] movement near the end of the [[Nineteenth Century]]. Wilde was influenced as a college student by the works of the English poet and critic [[Algernon Charles Swinburne]] and the American writer [[Edgar Allan Poe]]. He advocated freedom from moral restraint and the limitations of society. This point of view contradicted contemporary Victorian conventions.
