What is art history? Why, how, and where did it originate, and how
have its methods changed over time? The history of art has been
written and rewritten since classical antiquity. Since the
foundation of the modern discipline of art history in Germany in
the late eighteenth century, debates about art and its histories
have intensified. Historians, philosophers, psychologists, and
anthropologists among others have changed our notions of what art
history has been, is, and might be. This anthology is a guide to
understanding art history through critical reading of the field's
most innovative and influential texts, focusing on the past two
centuries. Each section focuses on a key issue: art as history;
aesthetics; form, content, and style; anthropology; meaning and
interpretation; authorship and identity; and the phenomenon of
globalization. More than thirty readings from writers as diverse as
Winckelmann, Kant, Mary Kelly, and Michel Foucault are brought
together, with editorial introductions to each topic providing
background information, bibliographies, and critical elucidations
of the issues at stake. This updated and expanded edition contains
sixteen newly included extracts from key thinkers in the history of
art, from Giorgio Vasari to Walter Benjamin and Satya Mohanty; a
new section on globalization; and also a new concluding essay from
Donald Preziosi on the tasks of the art historian today.
