The classification provides four or more codes placed on four axis (A - formalism, B - matériality, C - involvement body/mind, D - communication). These codes are positionning the artist in the art history.

A axis : FORMALISM
When looking at the work, what type of formalisation first strikes the eye? Is it more abstract or more figurative, etc ? (on a scale from more "immaterial" to more "realist").

A455 : Neo Figurative More or less allegorical representations ("Trans Avant Garde", "Bad Painting", ...)

A450 : Neo Figurative Other Quotations
from "Pittura Colta" (C.M. Mariani, ...) to cultural references "Citationnisme" (Gérard Garouste, ...) or object references (Peter Klasen, Konrad Klapheck, ...).

A520 : "Mixed media"
Combinations of different formalisms. More generally found among young creators at the end of the 20th/beginning 21st centuries, often hand in hand with "Installations" (Jason Rhodes, Rirkrit Tiravanija, ...).

B axis : MATERIALITY
How does the materiality of what is shown come across?
(on a scale from more "immaterial" to more "real").

B230 : Materiality

C axis : INVOLVEMENT BODY/ MIND

C140 : towards the intellectual side/ the essence of things inward looking work chiefly oriented towards: fantasmagoric

C180 : tending towards the corporeal / the senses via expression with a frank sensuality, or even openly sexual

- symbolic (Paul Armand Gette, Andreas Serrano, ...),
- humorous (Gilles Barbier "cerveau", Boyd Webb "the globe" , ...),
- or "realist" (certain "Body-artists" such as Otto Muehl, Paul Mc Carthy's "installations" , Zoran Naskovski's videos, ...), ...

D axis : COMMUNICATION
Does the artist have the deliberate intention to convey a message of any sort through his work?
(classified from the most "mystical" to the most "worldly").
