Alfred Gell presents an anthropological theory of visual art that emphasizes the importance of social context in the creation, distribution, and interpretation of art. He argues that art-objects can act as substitutes for individuals, facilitating social agency within specific contexts. This approach highlights the interconnectedness of social relationships and the role of art in mediating these interactions, offering a fresh perspective on the significance of visual art in society.
