She argues that due to its widespread usage, it is not possible to explain the notion of progress in art historical writing as the function solely of the context of any one author or a group of authors.
For example, in Gablik's Progress in Art, which Hazan explores in painstaking detail, art is a reflection of the individual's development as outlined in Jean Piaget's cognitive theory.
