This book was published to coincide with an exhibition titled Vojtěch Birnbaum: The Principle of Art organised by the Archive of Fine Arts at the Centre for Contemporary Art DOX in Prague in 2017, commemorating the 140th anniversary of the birth of art historian Vojtěch Birnbaum (1877–1934), a pioneering figure in the scholarly study of art in the Czech lands. It explores Birnbaum’s concepts of a ‘principle’ and ‘pattern’ in art, which he developed and wrote about in the 1920s and 1930s. The book also traces the roots of Birnbaum’s theoretical work within the broader context of European art-historical and philosophical thinking and describes the impact his concept of ‘development’ in art had on the next generation of art historians, who became formative figures in the evolution of this field.

The idea behind the exhibition was to examine Birnbaum’s ‘principle’ and ‘patterns’ in art, the two concepts explored in this study. Here I would like to thank The Fine Art Archive (Archiv výtvarného umění) for organising and supporting this project, and espe- cially Irena Lehkoživová and Barbora Špičáková, without whose initiative, assis- tance, and support neither the exhibition nor this study could have come about. I would also like to thank Lubomír Konečný and Josef Vojvodík for their valuable advice which uniquely contributed to the advance of work on this topic. I am very grateful to Jaroslav Horáček and Lucie Rohanová for their careful reading of this study. I would also like to thank Mike Gubser for his kind recommenda- tions and congenial approach to this project. My thanks go also to Lucie Krausová for her readiness to help and her great patience, especially at times when I was talking about nothing else but Vojtěch Birnbaum. Finally, I wish also to thank a number of institutions, in particular the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Masarykův ústav a Archiv AV ČR, v. v. i.) for provid- ing me with archive materials and for their smooth and pleasant cooperation, and Carton Clan for the book’s graphic design, and, last but not least, the Czech National Fund for Culture (Státní fond kultury ČR) and Faculty of Arts of Charles University (Filozofická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy), with whose kind support the publication of this book has been made possible. 79 80 Foreword Michael Gubser The art historian Vojtěch Birnbaum is virtually unknown outside the Czech Re- public. Yet he stands at the head of a Czech art historical lineage that helped to spread the ideas of the Vienna School of Art History beyond the German-speaking world. At the turn of the century, Birnbaum attended classes with Alois Riegl, the Vienna School’s premier representative, and carried his insights back to Prague, where he was appointed full professor of art history in 1927. In that position – and despite a premature death, another trait he shared with Riegl – Birnbaum exercised considerable influence on art history in Bohemia. Tomáš Murár’s small book explains this genealogy to an international audience. He reviews not only Birnbaum’s work, but also that of important disciples such as Růžena Vacková, Oldřich Stefan, and Václav Richter, who endured political persecution in their efforts to preserve a native art historical tradition. Murár does more than simply chronicle a little-known academic lineage. By connecting Birnbaum’s writing with ideas that still stand at the base of Western art historical scholarship, he contributes to the ongoing project of merging the intellectual histories of a continent divided and showing how East European thinkers cultivated and elaborated important schools of thought known only in their West European versions. The Vienna School founded by Riegl, Franz Wick hoff, and Rudolf von Eitelberger was instrumental in establishing art histo- ry as a distinct discipline, separate from both history and archaeology, its nearest disciplinary parents. It did so by breaking with the preoccupations of earlier art historians, especially the Winckelmannian emphasis on the aesthetic evalua- tion of artworks according to classical criteria. The hallmark of Vienna School art history was an insistence that artworks should be analysed in the context of their own age, according to criteria of form and style that changed histori- cally and were therefore unique to each era. The quintessential expression of this commitment was Riegl’s notion of the ‘Kunstwollen’, often translated as ‘the artistic will’. A hermetic concept, it suggested a drive or intentionality internal to art itself – and distinct from an artist’s intention or a culture’s values. In any 81 given artwork, the ‘Kunstwollen’ realised earlier artistic tendencies and pointed toward new formal and visual sensibilities. Art, then, had a temporality of its own, one that drew the artist along with it as a vehicle for the exploration of contemporary visual prospects. It is in this framework that one can understand Birnbaum’s signal contribu- tion to art historiography, the baroque principle, which he advanced in the con- text of his research

    Work in Progress. Report on Rudolf von Eitelberger: Netzwerker der Kunstgeschichte. Conference held for the 200th Anniversary of the birth of Rudolf Eitelberger (1817-1885). Museum of Applied Art, Vienna, 27-29 April 2017.1 Matthew Rampley Rudolf Eitelberger is commonly recognised as a key figure in the institutional formation of art history as a scholarly discipline. The first professor of art history in Austria and only the second in Europe, he also organised the first international art historical congress in 1873. He persuaded Emperor Franz Joseph to found the Museum for Art and Industry and was involved in the establishment of many other museums of design and industry across the Habsburg Empire. He was also influential in the development of monument conservation and protection in Austria. One can therefore safely state that without him the landscape of the nineteenth-century art world in Austria-Hungary would have been markedly different. How should we, therefore, assess his legacy? Even though his name may be familiar to art historians, he has seldom been the subject of close analysis and, if asked, few would be able to do more than repeat the brief outline provided above. This symposium set out to address that deficit, with 19 presentations on his social and intellectual origins, his involvement in Viennese cultural politics, his work as museum director, and his broader social, political and intellectual concerns. As the initiator of the Vienna School of Art History, he is invariably compared with his better known successors, such as Alois Riegl or Max Dvořák, but this is probably misconceived.

The Monument Question in Late Habsburg Austria A Critical Introduction to Max Dvořák’s Denkmalpflege Jonathan Blower Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2012 Abstract The present thesis is a critical introduction to a body of writings on heritage conservation by the Czech-born art historian Max Dvořák (1874–1921). From 1905 onwards, Dvořák was both professor of art history at the University of Vienna and Conservator General at the state institution responsible for heritage conservation in Austria: the ‘Royal and Imperial Central Commission for the Research and Preservation of Artistic and Historical Monuments’ (est. 1850). His published and archival texts on the subject are presented here for the first time in English translation. In this sense, the thesis follows the model of existing scholarship on the visual arts in Vienna around 1900, namely the combined English translations and critical introductions to the writings of Camillo Sitte (Collins & Collins, 1986), Otto Wagner (Mallgrave, 1988) and Alois Riegl (Forster & Ghirardo, 1982).

  • The Construction of National Identity in the Historiography of Czech Art
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Enlighten: Theses THE CONSTRUCTION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF CZECH ART MARTA FILIPOVÁ A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF THE HISTORY OF ART August 2008 © Marta Filipová 2008 Abstract National identity can be expressed in many ways by individuals, groups and states. Since the nineteenth century, Central Europe has been undergoing rapid changes in the political, social and cultural spheres, which was reflected in the self-definition of the nations living in this region, and in their definition by others. The Czech people, who until 1918 were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, gave birth to a national revival movement in the nineteenth century and eventually emancipated themselves to create an independent Czechoslovakia. The idea of „national identity“ was, therefore, crucial and this was enhanced in many areas of human activity, including the construction of a historical legitimacy for the nation. The struggle for recognition of the historical existence of the Czech nation was also projected into the discourse adopted for historical and contemporary art writing and exhibition practice. In this thesis, I focus on the ways in which Czech national identity was constructed in the historiography of art. I shall argue that the various ideologies which influenced the writers led to an understanding of Czech art as epitomising certain qualities of the Czech nation. At the same time, the Czech nation was presented as highly advanced because of its artistic achievements.

  • Riegl and Darwin: Evolutionary Models of Art and Life Harriet Kate Sophie Mcatee Bsc, Barts (Hons)
    Riegl and Darwin: Evolutionary Models of Art and Life Harriet Kate Sophie McAtee BSc, BArts (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Communications and Arts Harriet McAtee Abstract Austrian art historian Alois Riegl (1858-1905), a core member of the first Vienna School of Art History that flourished during the late-nineteenth century, is widely acknowledged as one of the key figures of art history leading into the twentieth century, and remembered for his then-radical treatises that used formal analysis to narrate a history of the evolution of artistic forms. The uniqueness of Riegl’s project, in which he developed a model that emphasised both the instances of continuity and innovation in the history of art, stands alone amongst his contemporaries, and has kinship with the evolutionary theories proposed by Charles Darwin (1809-1882). Riegl was preoccupied with delineating the uninterrupted history of art’s evolution, which accounted not only for changes in form and style, but also the function and role of art in society. However, despite intriguing analogies between Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection and Riegl’s model for the continuous evolution of art, the relationship between Riegl and Darwin has remained largely unexplored. Over the past two decades, contemporary interest in Riegl has surged, as art historians uncover his ongoing relevance to questions which preoccupy their current investigations. However, interaction with Riegl has largely been delineated by a framework of Hegelian aesthetics and art history, which as this thesis will demonstrate, does not appropriately account for the uniqueness of Vienna’s intellectual context, in which Darwinism was hugely popular.

  • Glasgow Colloquium
    Glasgow Colloquium Abstracts for Viennese Art Historiography Colloquium in Glasgow 2nd and 3rd October 2009 Location: Department of the History of Art, The University of Glasgow Contact: [email protected] Max Dvořák, Wilhelm Worringer and the History of Medieval Art Hans Aurenhammer (Frankfurt) The intellectual development of Max Dvořák (1874-1921), one of the chief protagonists of the so- called ‘Vienna School of Art History’, was characterized by a constant process of methodological revision, self-criticism and adaptation to the current tendencies of modern art. With regard to the study of medieval art this process is known above all by his two main published texts on this subject: The Enigma of the Art of the Van Eyck Brothers (1904), strongly influenced by the evolutionist thinking of Wickhoff and Riegl and by an ‘impressionistic’ view of modernity, and Idealism and Naturalism in Gothic Sculpture and Painting (1918), one of the most important essays of Dvořák’s late, ‘expressionistic’, period. Knowing only these two texts, the decisive turn undertaken by Dvořák around 1920 could be interpreted as a sudden change of paradigm. This view has to be corrected, however, after having read and analyzed Dvořák’s lectures on Western European Art in the Middle Ages which were held at the University of Vienna four times from 1906 to 1918. In my paper I will present Dvořák’s changing views on Medieval Art contained in the ca. 4400 pages of these hitherto unpublished manuscripts. Their topic is not Late Gothic art as in the above mentioned published texts but the long transition from Late Antique to Early Medieval Art and the prehistory of the Gothic architectural system from the 9th to the early 12th centuries.

  • Julius Von Schlosser Revisited
    Delineating the history of art literature by genre: Julius von Schlosser revisited Raphael Rosenberg Die Kunstliteratur (1924) is Julius von Schlosser’s most compendious work. It has been translated and reprinted an impressive number of times and is sometimes used as a reference work even today.1 Die Kunstliteratur can be regarded as a standard work in the best possible sense of the term: it gave a name to a central field in the discipline of art history. Remarkably, however, critical engagement with this standard work is still in its infancy.2 There remains some uncertainty about Schlosser’s motivations, the precedents he was following, and to what extent he distanced himself from them. These questions are relevant to the history of the discipline. More generally, it is important to critically examine Schlosser’s approach in order to establish new models for the history of artistic discourse and indeed for the history of art history itself.3 The first part of this paper covers the genesis of Die Kunstliteratur: the decades that Schlosser spent researching textual sources. Its purpose is to understand his intellectual motivations, his models and the changes he made to them; to acknowledge the magnitude of his achievement but also to identify the limitations of his approach. The second part of the paper delineates an alternative Revised version of a paper presented at the conference: ‘Julius von Schlosser zum 150. Geburtstag’ (Julius von Schosser at a hundred and fifty) in Vienna in October 2016. I would like to thank Sebastian Schütze and Franz Kirchweger, the organizer of the conference, Richard Woodfield, the editor of this journal, Gerd Blum, Marthe Kretzschmar, Heidrun Rosenberg and Tanja Jenni for their comments on the manuscript, Michael Thimann for a very helpful peer‐reviewing, Markus Rheindorf, Judith Herunter and Zoya Dare for copy editing, and Jonathan Blower for the translation.

  • Julius Von Schlosser, the Vienna School of the History of Art - Review of a Century of Austrian Scholarship in German1
    Julius von Schlosser, The Vienna school of the history of art - review of a century of Austrian scholarship in German1 Translated and edited by Karl Johns Members of the profession are immediately aware of what is meant with the expression ‘Vienna School:’ the center for art historical teaching, closely related to the Austrian ‘école des chartes’, organized by Theodor von Sickel, and today called the ‘II. Kunsthistorisches Institut der Universität Wien’ (‘second department of the history of art in the University of Vienna’) – a designation only ten years old and in no way expressive of chronology or quality, as only those completely ignorant of academic customs might require reminding. Austrian daily newspapers have especially recently published repeated reports that might lead to a complete misunderstanding of the situation. For this reason, and since many specialists are barely aware of the history of this respected ‘school’ which has produced so many distinguished scholars, we offer a brief sketch of its origins and development. It has been almost completely forgotten that it originated in the period of German Romanticism and that its nearly century-old history represents a considerable chapter in the history of German language scholarship and intellectual history in Austria. Josef Daniel Böhm and his Circle Its ‘prehistory’ in fact began with a very remarkable figure of the period before the Revolution of 1848: the medalist Josef Daniel Böhm († 1865), born 1794 in an old German language colony in the eastern Slovak Zips region, and a pupil of the well- known classicistic sculptor Franz Zauner, who is known so well to all Viennese by his equestrian portrait of the Emperor Joseph II that still stands in one of the unscathed beautiful city squares before the former Imperial Library.
