Book excerpt: Modern anthropology is essentially based on comparative studies. In all the avenues of approach to the complex science of man -- somatology, linguistics, culture -- use of the comparative method has brought most fruitful results. In one phase, however, it has not been adopted -- in art. Yet it is here no less desirable. Thus Haddon, writing of course as an anthropologist whose training is primarily zoological, says: ''the geographical distribution of art is as yet uninvestigated, but, with careful and capable handling, we may expect it to yield results not less interesting than those of the distribution of animals" ("Evolution in Art," 1895). In indicating the two methods of studying art as the esthetic and the scientific he suggests one of the reasons why so little has been done towards a study of comparative art. This difficulty is voiced by Mr. Balch: ''Comparative art is the study of the relations of the arts of the world and can be advanced only by trained art critics who are also ethnologists." But it is rare to find the subjective and the objective viewpoints combined in one individual. Mr. Balch himself does not escape the dominance of the esthetic influence: his analysis is essentially the subjective one of the art critic, but -- and here is the interest of his work to the student of the science of man -- he does recognize the scope of an objective inquiry. In the chapters on the distribution of art, on local and intrusive arts, and on art and man he suggests lines along which it must proceed. The first of these chapters classifies the world's art, ancient and modern, primitive and highly developed (the connotation is the fine arts in the broadest sense), into art families according to the lines of their development, briefly examining their characteristics and distribution. The question of local and intrusive art is a phase of the great problem of the spread of culture, itself of fundamental significance to the origin and evolution of man. We need, for instance, studies of the fine arts along similar lines to the studies of cultural migrations by the Elliot Smith school. In the case of the fine arts, however, the difficulty of distinguishing the two factors that Haddon terms "the solidarity of the human race'' and "ethnic idiosyncrasy" will be peculiarly great, for art is an exceedingly ancient and universal attribute of man.--Geographical Review, Volume 7
Download or read book Art and the State written by V. Alexander and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of states and their policies on visual art. States shape the role of art and artists in society, influence the development of audiences, support artistic work, and even affect the very nature of artistic production. The book contrasts developments in the United States with art policies in Britain and in the social democratic states of Norway and Sweden. In addition, it analyzes revealing transitions - the changes brought about in East Germany after unification and the experiences of artists who left the Soviet Union for the west. The result is a significant contribution to the sociology and the political economy of art.
Download or read book Comparativism in Art History written by Jas Elsner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring some of the major voices in the world of art history, this volume explores the methodological aspects of comparison in the historiography of the discipline. The chapters assess the strengths and weaknesses of comparative practice in the history of art, and consider the larger issue of the place of comparative in how art history may develop in the future. The contributors represent a comprehensive range of period and geographic command from antiquity to modernity, from China and Islam to Europe, from various forms of art history to archaeology, anthropology and material culture studies. Art history is less a single discipline than a series of divergent scholarly fields ? in very different historical, geographic and cultural contexts ? but all with a visual emphasis on the close examination of objects. These fields focus on different, often incompatible temporal and cultural contexts, yet nonetheless they regard themselves as one coherent discipline ? namely the history of art. There are substantive problems in how the sub-fields within the broad-brush generalization called 'art history' can speak coherently to each other. These are more urgent since the shift from an art history centered on the western tradition to one that is consciously global.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction. The fundamental idea underlying this monograph is to make an examination and comparison of the fine arts of as many races as possible, and of the resemblances and differences between these arts, to see whether any new light can thereby be shed on man and his history. In other words, this is an attempt to look from an esthetic standpoint at what man has produced in the esthetic arts, and to see whether anything can be learnt about man therefrom, or to put it still differently, it is a study of art for the sake of science. A comparison of the arts of the different races of men of to-day should throw, it would seem, some light on the esthetic and mental similarities and divergences between these races. And in the same way, a comparison of the arts of the races of the present with those of the arts of the races of the past should enable us, to a certain extent, to gauge the development of our early ancestors. To carry out this idea, I have examined, either in their homes or in museums, as many art works of as many races as possible, then I have studied photographs or illustrations of such objects, finally I have tried to cull from the statements of travellers and scientists something about the art of races from which I could see no art specimens. The only faculty or guidance I have relied on is my own critical faculty, so that I wish any reader to understand that this book only represents my own OPINIONS, and that I have not the slightest intention of laying down any laws or dogmas. An analogous case to studying comparatively the arts of different races occurs when anyone studies their implements, weapons, dress, ornaments, customs, languages, etc., and draws comparisons. Stone implements have a certain similarity the world over. Bone, wood, bronze, and iron implements differ more among themselves than stone implements do among themselves. Works of art in various places differ still more than do implements. The difference between implements certainly gives some clue as to their makers, and the differences between works of art should lead to still greater knowledge of the races the artists belong to. Comparative philology, comparative anatomy and comparative archeology have become special sciences and have shed much light on ethnology, and it seems to me that another special science should develop under the name of comparative art with the likelihood of proving also a great aid to knowledge. A difficulty about the study of comparative art is that of seeing a sufficient number of specimens, and it would be unsafe to judge of the art of any tribe, such for instance as the Zunis, from one or two specimens. Another difficulty consists in the lack of certainty anyone, not a specialist in a locality, must always be under as to whether the specimens he may see are genuine, representative, and whether they really come from the place and date from the time assigned to them. The only thing to do is to form the best temporary opinion one can, and be ready to alter it if fresh data turn up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new theory of culture presented with a new method achieved by comparing closely the art and science in 20th century Austria and Hungary. Major achievements that have influenced the world like psychoanalysis, abstract art, quantum physics, Gestalt psychology, formal languages, vision theories, and the game theory etc. originated from these countries, and influence the world still today as a result of exile nurtured in the US. A source book with numerous photographs, images and diagrams, it opens up a nearly infinite horizon of knowledge that helps one to understand what is going on in today’s worlds of art and science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication searches for the place of Czech, Slovak, and Eastern European postwar art in global history.Its aim is not to fruitlessly compare Eastern and Western neo-avant-gardes and contemporary art practices, but to decipher the circumstances under which artworks are created, theorized, and how they communicate with one another.Artists active in former Czechoslovakia (Kn�z�k, Kol�r, Koller, Kovanda) are considered in relationship to Situationists, Minimalists, and Fluxus artists. Inter-generational connections are also drawn with Czech contemporary artists (Kot�tkov�, Mancuska, Sed�).Establishing significant links through contrast and association, this collection of nine essays, spanning 1939 to 2013, proposes a new reading of the visual arts during the Iron Curtain Era and after. The volume is introduced by British art historian and art history professor Sven Spieker, founding editor of ARTMargins Print, a journal devoted to contemporary art practice in the global margins.Tom�s Pospiszyl (b. 1967) is a Czech critic, curator, and art historian. He has published extensively on 20th- and 21st-century art, and coedited, with Laura Hoptman, Primary Documents: A Sourcebook for Eastern and Central European Art Since the 1950s (MIT Press, 2002). He teaches at the Film and Television School of the Academy of Performing Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.Published with tranzit.cz, a curatorial and editorial structure focusing on Central and Eastern European artists and theory.Part of the JRP Ringier Documents Series.
