| book description |

Can the reception of a single, widely disseminated book offer a historical road map for a global art history? This is the question posed by the editors of this volume of essays, which charts the enduring response to the Swiss art historian Heinrich WÃ¶lfflinâ€™s Principles of Art History, first published in German in 1915. Translated into 22 languages and still in print in many of them, WÃ¶lfflinâ€™s book inaugurated an art history based entirely on â€œforms of seeingâ€ and employing a comparative method. Many of the translators and transmitters of the text are represented in essays on the bookâ€™s readership in Europe, North and South America, and South and East Asia. From its reception, positive and negative, the first genealogy of a global art history emerges. Published by the National Gallery of Art, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts/Distributed by Yale University Press
