artistic tradition
Passed-down aesthetic practice
An artistic tradition is a set of practices, techniques, styles, or themes passed down through generations within a particular art form or cultural context.
It represents accumulated knowledge and conventions that artists inherit, work within, or deliberately break from: She trained in the classical tradition, The film draws on the tradition of Italian neorealism.
Traditions can be regional, national, or span cultures—the Western tradition, the folk tradition, the oral tradition of storytelling.
