The essay discusses ideas about the end of styles. To use the notion “revival” in the style debate (Gothic Revival, etc.) seems to be an expression of the persuasion, that a style (Gothic) finished or died in one moment, then it did not exist for a certain period, and after that occurred again, “revived”. But is this construct correct? How can the existence of a style be stopped? Art historians invented three basic hypotheses. First, a style dies as a living organism. Second, a style continues its evolution in another culture. Third, a style disappears because it ceases to be fashionable. What serve these hypotheses for? Who likes the notion “revival” and why “revivalists” usually have not use it? How is a style retained in memory, waiting for its “revival”?
