*The ultimate derivation of 'fine' in 'fine art' comes from the ancient Greek philosophy of Aristotle, who proposed four causes or explanations of a thing. The Final Cause of a thing is the purpose for its existence, and the term 'fine art' is derived from this notion. If the Final Cause of an artwork is simply the artwork itself, "art for art's sake", and not a means to another end, then that artwork could appropriately be called 'fine'. The closely related concept of beauty is classically defined as "that which when seen, pleases". Pleasure is the Final Cause of beauty, and so is not a means to another end, but is an end in itself.
