"I reply that art should be called nothing else than right reason about things to be made (recta ratio factibilium).
Their good does not consist in any disposition of the human will but rather that the work that comes to be is good in itself.
The artist is not praised as an artist because of the will with which he works but because of the quality of what he makes."
Summa Theologicae, II,I,57.3
