Notes

The project is named after Hippolyte Taine — a French historian, critic, and philosopher from the 19th century. In his Philosophie de l'art book he considers an artwork not as a self-contained message, but rather as a representative of a bigger cluster of artist's creations characterized by his style. That cluster, in turn, is a part of a bigger group of artworks sharing a common epoch and region. And further those groups are a part of human art history.
