1950 REEED & BARTON WINTHROP MIDCENTURY AESTHETIC TEA COFFEE SET W /WASTE BOWL. The Aesthetic Movement provided a challenge to the Victorian public when it declared that art was divorced from any moral or narrative content.

In an era when art was supposed to tell a story, the idea that a simple expression of mood or something merely beautiful to look at could be considered a work of art was a radical idea. However, in its assertion that a work of art can be divorced from narrative, the ideas of the Aesthetic Movement are an important stepping-stone in the road towards Modern Art.
