Abstract (en)
Spurred and aided by passages from Goethe's writings, studies how Goethe conceived of art, its historical interpretation, and collections. Suggests that Goethe collected and organized his own collection, which contained an unusually heteregenous mix of drawings and prints by European artists from different countries and time periods, according to methods and values he had already formulated in his natural science studies. Proposes that, through this collection, Goethe developed a "morphological art history" (in which repeated exposure to a body of works can transform the value of an individual work), uniting the seemingly opposed normativeness and historicism expressed by his fictional characters about connoisseurship.
