Abstract (en)

Addresses Vasari's lasting imprint on the classicizing, male genius-oriented conception of art history practiced from the 16th c. through H.W. Janson and beyond. Explaining how Vasari's invention of an artistic canon was bound to the socio-economic conditions of a specific historical situation, finds that his norms of gender, class, race and power are still at the root of art historical methodology. Examines the results of recent feminist attempts to integrate women artists into the canon, and discusses the issues of sexuality that lie at its heart. (Appeared earlier as "The art historical canon: sins of omission" in (En-)gendering knowledge: Feminists in Academe, University of Tennessee Press, 1991).
