| Popis | The aim of this paper is to shed light on a particular mode of awareness shared by art historians and those who raise monuments (‘monumentalists’). In the first part, I argue against the view that art history is a historically informed art criticism (Baxandall 1985, Wollheim 1987) and defend the admittedly extravagant claim that monumentalists deliberately create objects addressing art historians, as if laying out their work for them. Taking cue from Alois Riegl (1903), I claim that art-historical awareness is an attention to the monumentality of historical documents. In the second part, I put my claims in the context of historiographical discussions in art history and archaeology (Schnapp 1996, Wood 2019) and in the last part, I turn to some examples to demonstrate my point. |
