Nietzsche, F. "Twilight of the Idols"

Friedrich Nietzsche has written Twilight of the Idols (German: Götzen-Dämmerung) in 1888, the last year of his activity, and it was published later, in January 1889. In this book, Nietzsche takes on the discussion of what is the underlying purpose (and function) of art, by using his conceptual opposition between the Apollinian and the Dionysian.

The Frenzy of the Artist

Nietzsche describes the frenzy as the indispensable physiological condition for the existence of art and aesthetics.
