P. Bourdieu on Style - Dictionary of Arguments
I 94 Style/Art/Bourdieu: in contrast to the unspecific perception of the work of art, the genuinely aesthetic one is equipped with a socially trained and acquired principle of relevance. This principle of choice allows the aesthetic view... to define the stylistic features and only they can be defined and retained, which - with a view to the overall range of stylistic possibilities - characterise a very specific way of dealing with these elements (e.g. leaves and clouds). The style is then understood as the display mode. Only the work of art can be stylistically characterized,... --- I 95 ...which presupposes at least an implicit reference to simultaneous (to distinguish a work from concurrently given) or successive (to differentiate it from earlier or later works by the same or another artist) co-options or equivalents. A painting like the Broadway Boogie-Woogie only gains its full significance for those who already have a previous idea of, for example, a work by Mondrian and have associated expectations.
