    This essay presents a critique of recent historiographic considerations of German art historians in the United States. It traces this history back to Johann Valentin Haidt in the eighteenth century. Using Princeton as a point of reference, it traces the innovations in the history of the discipline in the United States that were developed largely independent of the impact of German émigrés, and then turns to consider the possible impact of German speakers. Finally it takes issue with the idea of German Jewish identity in art history

    Baltic Reflections

    Get PDF
    There is no simple definition of the Baltic. Previous attempts to use the criteria derived from considerations of physical or cultural geography have not proved full adequate. This does not mean that there should be recourse to the dubious idea of the anachronic, or its equivalent, the “atopic”. Rather than being regarded as liminal or a frontier zone in relation to other cultural or geographical regions, the Baltic might be conceived as representing their intersection

    Il n’y a pas si longtemps encore, on pouvait partir du principe que tout historien de l’art savait comment dater et localiser une Ɠuvre d’art.

    L’art des Pays-Bas a longtemps Ă©tĂ© considĂ©rĂ© comme singulier. En 1876, par exemple, EugĂšne Fromentin associe la peinture de Belgique et de Hollande Ă  une gĂ©ographie et Ă  une histoire commune mais distincte ; bien d’autres critiques et historiens ont de la mĂȘme maniĂšre distinguĂ© l’art de ces pays par rapport Ă  l’art italien. Dans les annĂ©es 1980, les thĂšses de Svetlana Alpers et de Simon Schama ont relancĂ© le dĂ©bat sur l’identitĂ© de l’art nĂ©erlandais et, en particulier, de l’art hollandais. Le..
