The election of certain works judged, according to criteria specific to each society, to be above others reflects changes in taste. But the long-standing high regard and fascination that some masterpieces hold can give cause to believe that they are located above fluctuating tastes at a complex level of relationships between the viewer and the work, in what appears to be an objective way.
What is the situation of this “objectivity” today? What is a masterpiece? That is the theme of this book.
