Cultivating its own roots: Czech art history in the 1980s in the search of its own beginnings

Original language description

The contribution examines the significance of the two- volume publication Chapters from the History of Czech Art History (1986–1987). It was published by the Institute of Theory and History of Art of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences as its official task, but also to support the existence of the field of art history, which was threatened in the 1970s and 1980s for ideological reasons. Although the bookidentifies Max Dvořák as the founder of Czech art history and defines its mode normatively as a history of historical development, the first volume, subtitled Predecessors and Founders, describes the history of the field from the 15th to the end of the 19th c. The main characteristics of the publication can be summarized as a description of the constitutive features of Czech art history, with which it is still identified in its mainstream: Czech art history is made up of the ideas of great males who were born in Bohemia and Moravia and overwhelmingly wrote in Czech; the norm is the developmental model and the unquestioned patriarch is Max Dvořák; the descriptive mode of art historical work is legitimate and proper because it shapes the national history of art; plurality involves inconsistency of ideas and art history can well do without paying attention to its own philosophical foundations.
