Description
Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. The book offers a clear account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, tracing the development of the discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By examining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, the authors demonstrate that an adherence to a particular approach is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. This book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture.
