Abstract
Abstract An ‘anthropological theory of visual art’ probably suggests a theory dealing with the art production in the colonial and post-colonial societies anthropologists typically study, plus the so-called ‘Primitive’ art now usually called ‘ethnographic’ art-in museum collections. The ‘anthropological theory of art’ equals the ‘theory of art’ applied to ‘anthropological’ art. But this is not , what I have in mind. The art of the colonial and post-colonial margins, inasmuch as it is ‘art’, can be approached via any, or all, of the existing ‘theories of art’, in so far as these approaches are useful ones. Critics, philosophers, and aestheticians have been busy for a long time; ‘theories of art’ constitute a vast and well-established field.
