Abstract

How does one write the history of art history? And who is it that writes art history in different political, social and historic contexts, and the art history of what? These are some of the main questions posed by Milena Bartlová in a highly self-reflective book, Dějiny českých dějin umění 1945–1969.

Keywords:
