ABSTRACT
It is a generally accepted idea that in any given culture certain affinities exist among the various forms of its artistic expression. Thus scholars and critics have even found it convenient to label certain stages of development in a society with general descriptive tags such as ‘the Geometric Age’ when speaking of Mycenaean art. We hear of ‘the Baroque Age’, or ‘the Elizabethan Age’, the ‘Age of Romanticism’, the ‘Victorian Age’, and the like. The mere usage of such titles indicates acceptance of the fact that certain intimate relationships exist among the various art forms in any given period, that the dominant ideas and values of a society are reflected in each of its several art forms.
