FRAMEWORK FOR VISUAL ART ANALYSIS BY DELONG
Aforementioned the article which tries to examine the cross-cultural and intra-societal diversity through the Delong’s framework which imply the following assumptions:
- Art depicts the cultural norms, values and ideas of different communities which actually varies from each other, for example the dress in America is different from that in Nigeria, this is relatively because of the different norms, values and ideas which are brought about by the art used to formulate and come up with the ideas within a society.
- Norms and values of a people are depicted through material culture, the things that certain group of people involve themselves in perfectly explains their norms and values.
- Aesthetic expression are systematic within a culture
- Perfect analysis of cultural components enables one to understand the aesthetic expression within various communities.
The research has brought about an impact about the way women are adopting masculine dressing in order to merge the position of men.
Various concepts discussed in the article need some extra explanations for example:
- How does form and meaning work together in the new style dress to express openness to change and a forward look?
- Which are the diverse changing roles among Kalabari women of Nigeria?
The use of Delong framework methodology entailed analysis of various photographs from different places which include America and Nigeria, the photos showed the various differences amongst men and women in the two places.
I therefore, agree with the author that the concept of dress is changing with time and varies in different places following the different norms, values and ideas. However, the author is biased on bringing out the issue of dress to analyze the differences and not considering the formal dress which has a common universal meaning.
