History
The origin of the concept of "state of the art" mainly took place in the beginning of the twentieth century . Although scientists and literary people who worked on different art-related subjects had already done some sort of work, real application of the concept behind this term was in a book on gas turbines published in 1910 . The term "state of the art" was first used in literary work and over time its usage increased in all fields where art has a significant role. In this relation it has been quoted by the author that "Although eighteenth century writers did not use the term, there was indeed in existence a collection of scientific and engineering knowledge and expertise that can be identified as the state of the art for that time." In the earlier writings and the literary work of 19th century, there is no evidence of use of the term ‘state of the art’. It can be considered as a recently coined concept as it was not used anymore to provide a description of information and practices. For the time, the concept of state of the art can be used for the inclusion of new knowledge and expertise in the present world.

The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
