Это предисловие к Дориану Грею. Цитата несколько выдернута из контекста и как легко заметить, немного неправильно переведена. Оригинал:
The artist is the crea*** of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art’s aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is rope.
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.
