Dutch artist Judith Leyster was a respected artist of the 1600s, but her talents might have been completely forgotten had there been no lawsuit. In 1893, the authenticity of a painting attributed to the Dutch painter Frans Hals was contested after it was shown to be signed with the initials JL and a star, a play on the name Leyster, which means lodestar or comet. The case was settled and the work reattributed to Leyster, whose reputation has since been resuscitated by art historians eager to prove she was more than a Hals imitator.
The close links between art, money and power is evident in the potential valuation of some art works in millions of dollars. Likewise, it is through this that the role of art historians as designators of the value of art pieces gains power. Still, it is important that art historians not be swayed by financial concerns. If art works are only to be understood by its viewers through their price tags, then the significance of art historians' expertise in delineating the temporal and spacial meanings of the work would be eroded.
As its name implies, the new Man at Work museum at the Milwaukee School of Engineering is designed to celebrate the nobility of physical labor through the ages. But the engineer and the industrialist who run the museum have included artworks made to glorify the construction projects of the Nazi regime, art historians say. The museum, which opened to the public Saturday, seems to have stumbled into a complex, controversial subject that the museum world has been coming to terms with for decades: When is it appropriate to exhibit art produced under the Nazis? How open should a museum be with its visitors about Nazi connections? What are the moral responsibilities of artists working under repressive regimes?
RALEIGH, N.C. - A haunting 150-year-old photo found in a North Carolina attic shows a young black child named John, barefoot and wearing ragged clothes, perched on a barrel next to another unidentified boy. Art historians believe it's an extremely rare Civil War-era photograph of children who were either slaves at the time or recently emancipated.
The arguments for a greater interdiscipliarity in the arts and art history are unnecessary since art inherently draws from multiple disciplines. Perhaps it would be better to clarify what the topic of art history is, since art historians have varying opinions about their text. Some art historians, such as Mieke Bal, have taken an approach that involves disciplines such as semiotics, psychoanalysis and feminist theory.
