According to Oscar Wilde what is the ralationship between art and morality in life?

According to Oscar Wilde, art and morality are not directly related. He believed that art should be judged solely on its aesthetic merits, and that any moral lessons it may contain are secondary to its beauty and form. In his preface to "The Picture of Dorian Gray," Wilde wrote, "No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style." He also said, "All art is quite useless."

Wilde's views on art were influenced by the Aesthetic Movement, which emphasized the importance of beauty and pleasure in art, and rejected the idea that art should have a moral purpose. This movement was a reaction to the Victorian era's emphasis on morality and social responsibility, and its adherents believed that art should be free from any didactic or moralizing influences.

Wilde's ideas about art and morality have been influential in the development of modern art, which has increasingly focused on experimentation and the exploration of form, rather than on the expression of moral messages.
