Validity is the second criterion. By validity I mean whether an artist is honest to himself or to his world view or whether he makes his art only for money or for the sake of being accepted. If an artist makes an art work solely for a patron—whether that patron is the ancient noble, or the modern art gallery to which the artist wants access, or the modern art critics of the moment—his work does not have validity.
–Francis Schaeffer, Art and the Bible
