Analyzing the historical development of the various artistic movements that have emerged in the West, from Antiquity to the present day, it becomes clear that the concept of "art" has not always been the same. Even today, contemporary art presents us with a diversity of artistic productions to which the same categories that once characterized artistic practice—beauty, harmony, purity, and a long list of concepts that for centuries have been associated with art and aesthetic experience—can hardly be applied. The contemporary landscape and historical analysis seem to reveal that there is no single, shared understanding of what art truly is.
