  • Mélancolie et histoire de l’art

    Open AccessMichael Ann HollyARTICLEPerspective2008

    Quelle est la force qui pousse les historiens de l’art à écrire ? Quels types de liens se tissent entre les chercheurs et les œuvres ? Quel besoin irrépressible l’histoire de l’art, en tant que discipline, assouvit-elle, pour les individus comme pour les institutions ? Il est plus difficile que jamais pour les historiens de l’art d’appréhender le passé comme révolu face aux objets dont la matérialité est exacerbée par la perte de leur univers pro…

    Open AccessMichael Ann Holly, Mieke BalARTICLEArt History2007

    A conversation with Mieke Bal, as recounted by longtime friend, Michael Ann Holly. Many subjects emerge along the way, both serious and light: about the state of the world, about the discipline of art history, about reading art and writing about seeing, about memories and past times

  • Visual Studies, Historiography and Aesthetics

    Open AccessMark A Cheetham, Mark Cheetham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Visual Culture2005

    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 …

  • Patterns in the Shadows: Attention in/to the writings of Michael Baxandall

    Open AccessMichael Ann HollyARTICLEArt History1998Cited by: 1

    This essay reads the collected works of Michael Baxandall as an exercise in the melancholy of art history writing. His fascination with the gap between words and images, historical scholarship and early modern works of art has implications for a general postmodern malaise: why do those of us who write about the past still cling to the hope that historical meaning can be discovered, even as we recognize the absolute futility of finding out where? …

  • Visual Culture Questionnaire

    Svetlana Alper, Svetlana Alpers et al.ARTICLEOctober1996Cited by: 27

    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

    Mary Ann Caws, Norman Bryson et al.ARTICLESouth Atlantic Review1995

    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…
