In representism, the theme of a work of art is its experience or interpretation abstracted to a level which is common to all the various readerly interpretations and the original authorial experience. It is supposed that it is possible to arrive at a common abstraction based on the similarity of readers in an interpretive community.

The theme can often be verbalised as a concept or a short phrase, but actually formulating the theme is optional in the reception of an artwork.
