These alterations pushed the boundaries of many artistic aspects, such as the definition and use of the art object, the artistic subject, and the role played by the spectator. Artists such as Ana Mendieta, Allan Kaprow and Mierle Laderman, are some of the many artists responsible for the introduction of styles and movements that challenged the aspects mentioned above. (Botticelli S et al, 2001) This paper explains how such movements and styles challenge definition of western art that led to the discovery of ephemeral art. Even though ephemeral art could only be experienced during the time it is being made, the impact it had over western art was remarkable, this type of art gives a special and unique aesthetic beauty to the work, and it has indeed changed the way western art was depicted and experienced since the renaissance back in the 14th century.
这些变化促使许多艺术方面的界限，如定义和使用对象的艺术，艺术的主题，并由观众发挥作用。艺术家如门迭塔，艾伦Kaprow和米尔勒拉德曼，一些负责的风格和动作，质疑上述方面的许多艺术家介绍。（波提且利等人，2001）本文介绍了如何这样的动作和风格的挑战定义的西方艺术，导致短暂的艺术的探索。虽然短暂的艺术只能在时间它正在经历的，超过了西方艺术的影响是显著的，这种类型的艺术提供了一个特殊的和独特的美感的作品，它确实改变了西方艺术的描述和经验丰富的文艺复兴以来早在第十四世纪的道路。
