Abstract

Featuring some of the major voices in the world of art history, this volume explores the methodological aspects of comparison in the historiography of the discipline. The essays assess the strengths and weaknesses of the comparative practice in the history of art, and consider the larger issue of the place of the comparative in how art history may develop in the future. The contributors represent a comprehensive range of period and geographic command from antiquity to modernity, from China and Islam to Europe, from various forms of art history to archaeology, anthropology and material culture studies. Art history is less a single discipline than a series of divergent scholarly fields - in very different historical, geographic and cultural contexts - but all with a visual emphasis on the close examination of objects. These fields focus on different, often incompatible temporal and cultural contexts, yet nonetheless they regard themselves as one coherent discipline - namely the history of art. There are substantive problems in how the sub-fields within the broad-brush generalization called 'Art History' can speak coherently to each other. These are more urgent since the shift from an art history centered on the western tradition to one that is consciously global

Abstract

Résumé éditeur : "Heinrich Wölfflin, Alois Riegl, Aby Warburg, Henri Focillon, Erwin Panofsky, Roberto Longhi, Linda Nochlin, Michael Baxandall et bien d'autres... Autant de noms qui, de la fin du XIXeà la fin du XXe siècle, ont participé à la construction de l'histoire de l���art. Les notions, méthodes, savoirs et savoir-faire qu'ils ont élaborés ont fabriqué le rapport réflexif que nous continuons aujourd'hui d'entretenir avec le plus omniprésent des matériaux symboliques de nos sociétés : l'image. Cet ouvrage, à la fois érudit et très accessible, offre un panorama de tout premier plan pour quiconque voudrait se familiariser avec les grandes figures et les grands concepts de la théorie visuelle, en même temps qu'une synthèse pionnière montrant comment l'histoire de l'art s'est constituée en discipline, avec ses institutions propres, ses plateformes d'échange (revues, congrès, expositions, etc.) et ses dispositifs de contrôle de la production scientifique. Il montre aussi comment, tout au long du XXe siècle, cette histoire fut celle de l'affrontement entre deux conceptions rivales quant à leurs objectifs et leurs enjeux. Selon la première, l'œuvre d'art, pour être comprise, se suffi t à elle-même et suffi t à son interprète, dont la fonction consiste en une analyse avant tout visuelle ; pour la seconde, elle est un objet culturel complexe, dont il s'agit de reconstituer les dimensions sociales, politiques et intellectuelles. Avec ce livre aussi documenté qu'ambitieux, Michela Passini propose, pour la première fois en français, une histoire transnationale de l'histoire de l'art. Une somme indispensable pour comprendre les origines de notre rapport présent aux œuvres d'art. "

Abstract

"In this authoritative book, the first of its kind in English, Christopher Wood tracks the evolution of the historical study of art from the late middle ages through the rise of the modern scholarly discipline of art history. Synthesizing and assessing a vast array of writings, episodes, and personalities, this original and accessible account of the development of art-historical thinking will appeal to readers both inside and outside the discipline. The book shows that the pioneering chroniclers of the Italian Renaissance--Lorenzo Ghiberti and Giorgio Vasari--measured every epoch against fixed standards of quality. Only in the Romantic era did art historians discover the virtues of medieval art, anticipating the relativism of the later nineteenth century, when art history learned to admire the art of all societies and to value every work as an index of its times. The major art historians of the modern era, however--Jacob Burckhardt, Aby Warburg, Heinrich Wölfflin, Erwin Panofsky, Meyer Schapiro, and Ernst Gombrich--struggled to adapt their work to the rupture of artistic modernism, leading to the current predicaments of the discipline. Combining erudition with clarity, this book makes a landmark contribution to the understanding of art history."--from book jacket "In this wide-ranging and authoritative book, the first of its kind in English, Christopher S.

Abstract

A fresh contribution to the ongoing debate between Kunstwissenschaft (scientific study of art) and Kunstgeschichte (art history), this essay collection explores how German-speaking art historians of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century self-consciously generated a field of study. Prominent North American and European scholars provide new insights into how a mixing of diverse methodologies took place, in order to gain a more subtle and comprehensive understanding of how art history became institutionalized and legitimized in Germany. One common assumption about early art-historical writing in Germany is that it depended upon a simplistic and narrowly-defined formalism. This book helps to correct this stereotype by demonstrating the complexity of discussion surrounding formalist concerns, and by examining how German-speaking art historians borrowed, incorporated, stole, and made analogies with concepts from the sciences in formulating their methods. In focusing on the work of some of the well-known 'fathers' of the discipline - such as Alois Riegl and Heinrich Wölfflin - as well as on lesser-known figures, the essays in this volume provide illuminating, and sometimes surprising, treatments of art history's prior and understudied interactions with a wide range of scientific orientations, from psychology, sociology, and physiognomics to evolutionism and comparative anatomy
