Answer
Aestheticism, a late 19th-century movement emphasizing the primacy of beauty and sensory experience, was heavily influenced by the writings of Walter Pater. Pater's emphasis on the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the moment resonated with Aestheticism's rejection of moralism and its focus on the pursuit of pleasure and beauty.
