There are two basic art historical methods.
the First is historical, assumes that the viewer is imperative to be aware of the time and environment of the artist.
Then, in General,-то, can be useful any knowledge.
for instance, information that Vermeer owed before the death of 600 guilders greengrocer, designed, apparently, to understand the daring position of the great artist, burdened with 11 children.
If you forget the sarcasm, that the historical method is too complex to professionals looking to understand the entire stylistic spectrum and relatively easy for beginners because their issues may well be satisfied with the colorful presentation of artists " biographies.
Second method is called exclusively by their appearance to determine the quality level of works of art. Here, the expert shall, on the contrary, to imagine the object of art beyond time. This activity is more interesting, which suggests the emergence of a system of aesthetic perception based on the idea of the quality of the work. In other words, in the process of oral or written description of a work of art is born of individual creative preferences.
Historical method is not objective in the sense of artistic hierarchies. Where the investigator is dealing with thousands of facts, it is very hard not to fall into temptation" повествования on behalf of the artist".
Also went as pretentious biographical novels about Napoleon or Muhammad, look a the life of painters, who, after a proper training, the author, become very similar, typical features.
Formal method, guided analysis of composite movements and the organization of space in the beautiful work that reveals the end result of the author, while the historical approach claims to explain the General motivation of the appearance of the paintings in this chronological period.
Argument about the superiority of one or another art form of working with art @- amateurish idea. There is no sense in categorical judgment about the superiority of one or the other method. The professionalism of the approach consists in the subjective mixing of these two components of art craft.
