Preferred term

depictions of death in art form  

Definition

  • Death has been a topic of depiction as every culture develops a way of representing the deceased. As this topic concerns representations of death in art form, it is most illustrative to focus on Western culture where an established definition of art exists and is influenced by the social and religious environment.
