Description

"A comprehensive introduction to the fundamental changes which have occurred in both the institutions and practice of art history over the last thirty years. Jonathan Harris examines and accounts for the new approaches to the study of art which have been grouped loosely under the term 'the new art history'. He distinguishes between these and earlier forms of 'radical' or 'critical' analysis, explores the influence of other disciplines and traditions on art history, and relates art historical ideas and values to social change ... each chapter discusses a key moment in the discipline of art history, tracing the development and interaction of Marxist, feminist and psychoanalytic critical theories"--Back cover.

First Sentence

Critical, social, or radical art history - the terms I've selected in preference to 'new art history' - all presume an opposite, or at least a sharp contrast, against which the former terms have been defined, and in distinction to which are claimed to represent a decisive advance.
