Art history traditionally classifies works of art by country as
well as period, but often political borders and cultural boundaries
are highly complex and fluid. Questions of identity, policy, and
exchange make it difficult to determine the "place" of art, and
often the art itself results from these conflicts of geography and
culture. Addressing an important approach to art history, Thomas
DaCosta Kaufmann's book offers essays that focus on the intricacies
of accounting for the geographical dimension of art history during
the early modern period in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
"Toward a Geography of Art" presents a historical overview of these
complexities, debates contemporary concerns, and completes its
exploration with a diverse collection of case studies. Employing
the author's expertise in a variety of fields, the book delves into
critical issues such as transculturation of indigenous traditions,
"mestizaje," the artistic metropolis, artistic diffusion, transfer,
circulation, subversion, and center and periphery. What results is
a foundational study that establishes the geography of art as a
subject and forces us to reconsider assumptions about the place of
art that underlie the longstanding narratives of art history.
