In the 1930s Hans Sedlmayr and Otto Pacht undertook an ambitious extension of the art historical project of Alois Riegl (1858-1905). Sedlmayr and Pacht began with an aestheticist conception of the autonomy and irreducibility of the artistic process. At the same time, they believed they could read entire cultures and worldviews in the work of art. The key to this contextualist alchemy was the concept of 'structure,' a kind of deep formal property that the work of art shared with the world. The idea of this volume is to bring the drama of this methodological and political encounter to the attention of Anglo-American art historians." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The main characteristics of the late Roman Kunstwollen (1901), by Alois Riegl; The place of the Vapheio cups in the history of art (1900), by Alois Riegl; Toward a rigorous study of art (1931), by Hans Sedlmayr; The end of the image theory (1930/1931), by Otto Pacht; Remarks on the structure of Egyptian sculpture (1933), by Guido Kaschnitz von Weinberg; Design principles of Fifteenth-century Northern painting (1933), by Otto Pacht; Bruegel's Macchia (1934), by Hans Sedlmayr; Passages from Cezanne and the end of scientific.perspective (1938), by Fritz Novotny; Rigorous study of art: on the first volume of Kunstwissenschaftliche Forschungen (1931/1933), by Walter Benjamin; The new Viennese School (1936), by Meyer Schapiro.
