Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a
lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates
within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from
Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art
history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the
late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the
underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each
method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear
on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an
adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set
of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the
vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new
fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value
to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own
contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method.
