>Aestheticism (also the Aesthetic Movement) is an intellectual and art movement supporting the emphasis of aesthetic values more than social-political themes for literature, fine art, music and other arts. This meant that Art from this particular movement focused more on being beautiful rather than having a deeper meaning - 'Art for Art's sake'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aestheticism

If an aesthete is someone who believes in art for art's sake, then what is the term for someone who believes in art for politics' sake?

Is this a binary or are there other possible 'sakes' for art (and if so what are they)?

The purpose of art should be to inspire the viewer to noble action. Anything else is jewish filth

Both are correct qua Benjamin's essay on the work of art in the age of technological reproducibility.

Aestheticization of politics = propagandism (think Riefenstahl's propaganda films)

Politicization of aesthetics = avant-garde (think dada, surrealism, situationists, fluxus)

In today's world art that is beautiful is a political statement.

They participate in Truth, because of course the truth is the source of all beauty, and all things which are true are beautiful.

Bullshit. The amount of distraction in society proves you wrong.
