Abstract

This paper discusses the partucular scopes of history, philosophy, sociology,
geography, anthropology, and psychology in the interpretation of certain
artistic phenomena. At the same time, there are possibilities for connecting
their results into a consistent, paraconsistent comprehensive
multidisciplinary interpretation, and especially the reality of that
interpretation in relation to theoretically recognizable elements of art and
composition of artistic work. Social sciences provide the history of art with
necessary material to expand the interpretation of art and analysis of works
of art, as well as the theoretical foundation of multidisciplinarity.
