| Description | Czech art history, as one of the more hesitant and, with regard to its own self-reflection, certainly more cautious fields of the humanities, has finally been launched on the journey towards a synthesis of its own early post-war history thanks to several years of research by Milena Bartlová, a renowned Prague art historian. Bartlová is a professor in the Department of Theory and History of Art at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM) with a focus on medieval art and culture. She also researches the methodology of art history, museology and relations between national and state identity and the production of art. Her more than 500-page synthesis entitled Dějiny českých dějin umění 1945–1969: Dějiny umění slouží vědě o člověku [History of Czech Art History 1945–1969: Art History Serving the Science of Man], builds on both thorough heuristic work with local sources and the study of the relevant methods of approaches to the research subject in neighbouring countries, especially Poland and Germany. |
