The Latin phase 'Ars Gratia Artis' appears on the M-G-M emblem of classical, old Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films. Such is the case with the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. In the word-by-word translation of the phrase, the nouns 'ars', 'gratia', and 'artis' respectively mean 'art', 'thanks', and 'of art'. The English meaning therefore is as follows: Art for the sake of art.
