"The art of art is to conceal art"--this maxim of Ovid's means that the best works of art are the ones that appears natural and can be appreciated without being distracted by the artist's technique and serves as the foundation of classical and modern aesthetics. Its history is traced here for the first time by noted analytical philosopher of art Paolo D'Angelo.
