Malaise in art history: on the anthropology of images by Han Belting and Georges Didi-Huberman.
Keywords:
art, anthropology, art historiography, Hans Belting, Georges Didi-HubermanAbstract
This article analyzes “the anthropological turn” taken in art historiography in the last few decades. For this, we take as a common element the questioning of the modern notion of representation; what David Summers calls “modern philosophical representationalism”. We analyze in greater detail the project of an anthropology of images developed by the two authors closest to the continental European historiographical tradition, Hans Belting and Georges Didi-Huberman, and explore their explicit connections with Aby Warburg’siconology.
