Abstract

MARTINEZ DALMAU, Rubén. Art, law and the right to art. Rev. Derecho Estado [online]. 2014, n.32, pp.35-56. ISSN 0122-9893.

This article argues that there is an individual right to art based on the autonomy of art, which distinguishes it from other forms of expression; on the ability of subjective appropriation of art exclusively by humans; on the possibilities of art for the construction of various forms of expression, and the potential use of art in democratic systems where public policies could help to the right to peace and reconciliation, as well as alternative forms of reparation and rehabilitation in society. The exclusive relationship between human and art is the base of its objectification, that would make it a legally enforceable right.

Keywords : Art; right to art; foundation of rights; right to peace.
