Whether art, local or universal, only depicts the historically personal,
without a sense of timelessness it's place will remain just historical.

Meyer Schapiro proposes that style is indicative of the artist and

works and breathes and reveals underlying cultural assumptions and
normative
values. On the other hand our own descriptions of form and style
indicate our
period, our concerns, and our biases.

What if art self-reflexively addresses by aesthetic and rhetorical
means
the
