Description

This book explores the goals and limitations of twentieth-century art studies (Kunstwissenschaft) as a field, and aims to contribute to future academic research. It is structured around several representative art scientists and their key texts, exploring the theories of influential figures in the field, such as Erwin Panofsky and Aby Warburg (art researchers). This approach allows the book to present the universal construction goals, theoretical sources, thinking logic and academic dilemmas of art history in an interdisciplinary context at that time.
