The work of art still has something in common with enchantment: it posts its own, self-enclosed area, which is withdrawn from the context of profane exsistence, and in which special laws apply. Just as in the ceremony the magician first of all marked out the limits of the area where the sacred powers were to come into play, so every work of art describes its own circumference which closes it off from actuality. This very renunciation of influence, which distinguishes art from magical sympathy, retains the magic heritage all the more which it absorbs. It is in the nature of the work of art, or aesthetic semblance, to be what the new, terrifying occurrence became in the primitives magic: the appearence of the whole in the particular. In the work of art that duplication still occurs by which the thing appeared as spiritual, as the expression on mana. This constitutes iits aura.
