Syntax in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Syntax Examples in The Picture of Dorian Gray:

The Preface

"THE ARTIST is the creator of beautiful things..." See in text (The Preface)

Notice Wilde's terminal use of the word "beautiful." He leaves no room for any other descriptor of art. He does not say "The Artist is the creator of beautiful and not-so-beautiful things." Art is ONLY beautiful.
