Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the most influential tendencies in the art criticism of the second part of the 19th century and 20th century. It shows how the diffusion of artistic forms and symbols transformed the principles of Western art criticism. The narrowness of Eurocentric approaches gradually became apparent, and so the new comparativist art criticism developed a new strategy and methods of inquiry.
