Book Description
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.
The Art of Art History is a unique guide to understanding art history through a critical reading of the field's
most innovative and influential texts over the past two centuries. Each section focuses on a key issue: aesthetics,
style, history as an art, iconography and semiology, gender,
modernity and postmodernity, deconstruction and museology. More than thirty readings from writers as diverse as
Winckelmann, Kant, Gombrich, Warburg, Panofsky, Heidegger, Lisa Tickner, Meyer Schapiro, Jacques Derrida, Mary
Kelly, Michel Foucault, Rosalind Krauss, Louis Marin, Margaret Iversen, and
Nestor Canclini are brought together, and Donald Preziosi's introductions to each topic provide background information,
bibliographies, and critical elucidations of the issues at stake. His own concluding essay is an important and
original contribution to scholarship in the field.
