This book is devoted to the concept of horizontal art history-a
proposal of a paradigm shift formulated by the Polish art historian
Piotr Piotrowski (1952-2015)-that aims at undermining the hegemony
of the discourse of art history created in the Western world. The
concept of horizontal art history is one of many ideas on how to
conduct nonhierarchical art historical analysis that have been
developed in different geopolitical locations since at least the
1970s, parallel to the ongoing process of decolonization. This book
is a critical examination of horizontal art history which provokes
a discussion on the original concept of horizontal art history and
possible methods to extend it. This is an edited volume written by
international scholars who acknowledge the importance of the
concept, share its basic assumptions and are aware both of its
advantages and limitations. The book will be of interest to
scholars working in art history, art historiography and
postcolonial studies.
