Summary/Abstract: In this paper, based on the biographical method in the context of "mass" and "elitist", the author analyzes the work of Theophile Gautier, the famous French writer, critic, representative of "art for art". Life for representatives of "art for art's sake" is not some category that is subject to beauty. In the framework of art it has a special area. Art exists for itself and justifies its own purpose that bears in itself fine. T. Gautier sets the platform for an elitist art. It is alleged that the writer's works, which combine aesthetic and utilitarian, elite and mass, affecting the human sensibility, form it.
