| Course Description | The history of art and the history of design both have their own dynamics, and understanding these histories can enhance our understanding of individual works of art and design. Apart from the internal development of each artistic discipline, where each generation competes with and reacts to its forerunners, we have to consider the broader cultural and historical context in which works come into existence. The course will consider several leading authors who have tried to find ways to combine the ‘artistic’ and the ‘cultural historical’ approach. As this kind of research has a long tradition in the field of art history, we will start the semester by studying publications of art historians like Winckelmann, Panofsky and Gombrich. In the second half we will evaluate how the research methods of current historians of design relate to those earlier scholars. |
