Vocel – Hostinský – Hoernes: Central-European Contributions to the Discussion about the Beginnings of Art

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study analyzes texts about prehistoric artifacts written by three nineteenth-century researchers. All three authors came from the Central-European milieu and none of them are considered pure art historians, although they significantly influenced the discourse within art history. These researchers include Jan Erazim Vocel, the founder of Czech art history, heritage conservation and archaeology, and the author of Začátkové českého umění [The Beginnings of Czech Art] from 1847; Otakar Hostinský, primarily an aesthetics scholar who grappled with the topic in his articles O prvotinách umění výtvarného [On the First Works of Art] and O nejstarších stopách umění evropského [On the Earliest Traces of European Art] (1876 and 1877); and Moritz Hoernes, the first university professor of prehistory in Europe (1899 in Vienna) and the author of the first comprehensive publication about the history of art in the Prehistoric Period entitled Urgeschichte der bildenden Kunst in Europa von den Anfängen bis um 500 vor Chr. (1898). The comparison of their contributions illustrates the dynamics within the art-history debate reacting to the increasing volume of material and the effort to improve the existing interpretation methods. Since the pioneering decades, researchers preferred an interdisciplinary approach in studying the beginnings of art and were skeptical of the idea that the methodological tools of a single discipline, including art history, could offer a clear picture. To this day, prehistory plays a somewhat subversive role in the art-historical discourse. The study also points to other nineteenth-century theories that remain relevant today, while suggesting that Central Europe has always played an important role in the debate about the inception of art.
