American Voices. Remarks on the Earlier History of Art History in the United States and the Reception of Germanic Art Historians
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.

Malaise dans la périodisation
Il nây a pas si longtemps encore, on pouvait partir du principe que tout historien de lâart savait comment dater et localiser une Ćuvre dâart. La discipline a continuĂ© Ă sâaccorder sur les principes que lâapparence formelle Ă©tait un pointeur dans lâhistoire et que le style dĂ©limitait des pĂ©riodes historiques dans lâart (tout autant que dans lâĆuvre de chaque artiste).
