Call for Articles
Images and Histories Journal of the Association of Western Art History announces a call for papers on “Images and Histories.”
What is history in art history? What role do art or images play in history? Both history and art history as disciplines appear to have encountered similar challenges and faced similar possibilities while attempting to develop new ways to reconsider images as well as engage in rethinking about history and art. New art history and contemporary art have expanded the definitions of art – a range of objects, media, and discourses is now included. Several postmodern thinkers have questioned conventional historical thinking and methodologies. The discipline of history, in particular, has witnessed what has been called by . . . → En lire plus

Depuis l’Antiquité, les arts visuels se définissent avant tout, par analogie avec la poésie, comme l’art d’imiter la nature (Aristote) : analogie qui marquera – on le sait – toute la théorie de l’art à l’époque moderne.

The <<Encyclopédie>> defines symmetry as “le rapport, la proportion & la régularité des parties nécessaires pour composer un beau tout.” Although not extensively articulated outside architectural discourses, the notion of symmetry remained integral to a wide variety of eighteenth-century cultural productions. From interior decoration to literary construction, from the arrangement of artworks to the design of parterres, symmetry permeated aesthetics conceptually and practically—as essential to individual objects as to the composition of an overall environment, « un beau tout. » The duality of symmetry as a principle . . . → En lire plus
