  In order to understand the social and dynamic significance of modern dramatic art it is necessary, I
  believe, to ascertain the difference between the functions of art for art's sake and art as the mirror of
  life.
  Art for art's sake presupposes an attitude of aloofness on the part of the artist toward the complex
  struggle of life: he must rise above the ebb and tide of life. He is to be merely an artistic conjurer of
  beautiful forms, a creator of pure fancy.
  That is not the attitude of modern art, which is preëminently the reflex, the mirror of life. The artist
  being a part of life cannot detach himself from the events and occurrences that pass panorama-like
  before his eyes, impressing themselves upon his emotional and intellectual vision.
