Preferred term

universals in art  

Definition

  • From a strict anthropological point of view, informed by the recent self-critical turn of the research, it is a debatable issue whether we should admit universals in art. It is equally an open question as to whether art is indeed a universal form of expression and communication. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Art, Universals in]
