Visual Time: The Image in History
Visual Time offers a rare consideration of the idea of time in art history. Non-western art histories currently have an unprecedented prominence in the discipline. To what extent are their artistic narratives commensurate with those told about Western art? Does time run at the same speed in all places? Keith Moxey argues that the discipline of art history has been too attached to interpreting works of art based on a teleological categorization - …

Looking at the Overlooked
Mimesis and Iconoclasm
What is the enduring power of mimesis? What hold do paintings that mimic perception have over our imagination? This essay analyses Hans Holbein the Younger's portrait of The Ambassadors to assess its magic both for ourselves in the present and for those who first beheld it. The very structure of the work, its facture, is invested with an iconic vitality that we often overlook. Its surface is alive with a thoroughly medieval sense of pictorial pre…
Visual Studies and the Iconic Turn
What are the challenges and opportunities posed to the dominant interpretive paradigms of visual studies by the rise of a new fascination with the object? How can the study of visual culture respond to what has been variously termed a `pictorial' or an `iconic' turn? Can this phenomenological concern for the power of the image to determine its own reception be incorporated into approaches that emphasize its political implications? Is it possible …
Visual Studies, Historiography and Aesthetics
This dialogue is an opportunity for Mark Cheetham, Michael Ann Holly and Keith Moxey to speak together in print for the first time since their edited collection entitled The Subjects of Art History (1998). Concerned, in that volume, with the prospect that ‘art history, like many other fields in the humanities, has entered a post-epistemological age’, the three editors wrote opening ‘position papers’ outlining, respectively, their concern for the …
Iconoclash: Beyond the Image Wars in Science, Religion, and Art
This book, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Centre for New Art and Media (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, invoked three disparate realms in which images have assumed the role of cultural weapons. Monotheistic religions, scientific theories and contemporary arts have struggled with the contradictory urge to produce and also destroy images and emblems. Moving beyond the image wars Iconoclash shows that image destruction has always coexisted …

Visual Culture Questionnaire
1. It has been suggested that the interdisciplinary project of is no longer organized on the model of (as were the disciplines of art history, architectural history, film history, etc.) but on the model of anthropology. Hence, it is argued by some that visual culture is in an eccentric (even, at times, antagonistic) position with regard to the new art history with its social-historical and semiotic imperatives and models of context and text
Visual Culture: Images and Interpretations
We can no longer see, much less teach, transhistorical truths, timeless works of art, and unchanging critical criteria without a highly developed sense of irony about the grand narratives of the past, declare the editors, who also coedited Visual Theory: Painting and Interpretation (1990). The field of art history is not unique in finding itself challenged and enlarged by cultural debates over issues of class, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orien…
Perspective, Panofsky, and the Philosophy of History

The Practice of Theory: Poststructuralism, Cultural Politics, and Art History
The social history of art in the Age of Deconstruction
The social history of art as it was theorized and practiced by such authors as T. J. Clark and Thomas Crow has been subjected to a number of criticisms in recent years. Most notable perhaps is the feminist critique offered by Griselda Pollock which drew attention to an important limitation, namely the failure of the social history of art to take into consideration issues of gender. Her critique (Pollock, 1988) was informed by post-structural crit…

Peasants, Warriors, and Wives: Popular Imagery in the Reformation.
Keith Moxey examines woodcut images from the Nuremburg area, arguing that far from being crude representations of popular culture, they in fact represent the means by which the middle and upper classes could disseminate reformed attitudes to a broader audience.
Semiotics and the Social History of Art
HE THEORETICAL PARAMETERS of much of the social history of art currently being written in the Anglo-American world have largely been defined by the work of T. J. Clark. In two important books, Image of the People: Gustave Courbet and the 1848 Revolution and The Painting of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and his Followers, Clark provides both a theory and a practice for an art history that transcends its traditional preoccupations with sty…

R_ ATHER THAN ATTEMPT to define and discuss the variety of peculiar problems that confront the contemporary interpreter of the visual arts of the past, these remarks are intended as a consideration of the interpretive system devised by Erwin Panofsky. Panofsky's contribution to art historical theory has recently attracted considerable attention. His work has been the subject of a new book, a symposium at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and a sessio…
