Abstract (en)

Dvořák's major texts relate art historiography to nationality and cultural difference. His principal reason for charting the relationship of art to intellectual and spiritual conditions was to demonstrate the uniqueness of artistic expression in Germany and Northern Europe since early Christianity. His ideas were based on an intimate awareness of German explanations of modernism from the late 18th c. to his time. Despite his theory's totalizing claims, his resistance to classicist hegemony in art historiography is pertinent to the current debate on the nature of disciplinary hierarchies and exclusions.
