Thanks for the kind words. I agree that we must analyze art based on the spirit of the times and the mood of the artist, and I also think that within or along with the spirit of the times we can also consider how various aspects of the past and current times influenced the creation of the art, and in some cases we can even project forward, say from 1980 to some future period, to investigate or analyze how a particular work was laying the foundation for the artist's future direction, giving us a better understanding of the artist's narrative/career arc. I think studying/exploring all of that can be useful for developing a well-rounded or multidimensional understanding of the art.
