The article discusses the essence of the functionality of the relation of abstract theorizing to material, presented as activity, in the context of art criticism research. I propose the ontological norm of a specific activity under investigation, produced in the form of a theoretical model of activity, constructed within the framework of the implementation of this methodological strategy, demanding representation of the same activity, obtained as a result of the implementation of empirical research. For convenience here the thing area of art studies is conventionally divided into five levels corresponding to different scales and specificity of activity in relation to the initial level on which the product of the activity appears as something that is then potentially defined as art. For full relevance of the described methodological toolkit, I declare the main functional limitations of abstract theorizing, as following the disciplinary identity of art studies.
