Art that has been made specifically with the intention of never seeing the light of day. It is for the artist only. Failed examples of this are Francis Goya’s dark paintings. He painted these on the walls of his house and covered them up, most likely intending for them to naturally decay. A long time later however, they were found, preserved and named. Because this art has been uncovered and made public, it has lost its original status. The funny thing about this ‘art for no one’ is that the only variant of it that is successful, we will never know about since it remained as intended; a secret to anyone but the artist.
