Dean quotes one Shelly Errington, who says that some objects in the twentieth century were taken of colonized nations of Africa, polished and called art objects although these object were not created to be put on show and this was done just because it was warranted during the period of human history. She categorizes these objects as “art by appropriation” instead of by deliberation. The feeling that a certain logic is not used in this assumption by Errington becomes very strong, many art objects that are referred to as “art by intention” were made for decorations. Decoration then would be their “other” purpose instead of just being cooped up in museum just to be admired for what they really are in themselves and this would include European art. By Shelley’s definition then few artifacts and their makers will qualify as arts and artists
