Manufacturing National Boundaries? The Notion of Style Between Identity Constructions and Spatial Approaches

Art historians have long been preoccupied by art’s geographical inscription. But it was during the interwar period that research on the geography of art really took off and was recognized as a field of study in its own right. This is evidenced by the organization of an international congress of art history (Stockholm, September 1933) specifically devoted to art geography. What was the field covered in 1933 by artistic geography? How did it define its objects? And how an art history marked at the time by an extremely present methodological nationalism did shape geographical approaches? Depuis les débuts de la discipline, les historiens de l’art s’interrogent sur l’inscription spatiale de leurs objets. Mais ce n’est que dans l’entre-deux- guerres que la géographie artistique s’affirme comme un domaine d’études à part entière. En témoigne l’organisation d’un congrès international d’histoire de l’art spécifiquement consacré à la géographie de l’art (Stockholm, septembre 1933). Quel est le champ couvert par la géographie artistique en 1933 ? Comment définit-elle ses objets ? E comment une histoire de l’art alors marquée par un nationalisme méthodologique omniprésent a-t- elle élaboré des approches spatiales de la production artistique ?

Abstract

Art historians have long been preoccupied by art’s geographical inscription. But it was during the interwar period that research on the geography of art really took off and was recognized as a field of study in its own right. This is evidenced by the organization of an international congress of art history (Stockholm, September 1933) specifically devoted to art geography. What was the field covered in 1933 by artistic geography? How did it define its objects? And how an art history marked at the time by an extremely present methodological nationalism did shape geographical approaches? Depuis les débuts de la discipline, les historiens de l’art s’interrogent sur l’inscription spatiale de leurs objets. Mais ce n’est que dans l’entre-deux- guerres que la géographie artistique s’affirme comme un domaine d’études à part entière. En témoigne l’organisation d’un congrès international d’histoire de l’art spécifiquement consacré à la géographie de l’art (Stockholm, septembre 1933). Quel est le champ couvert par la géographie artistique en 1933 ? Comment définit-elle ses objets ? E comment une histoire de l’art alors marquée par un nationalisme méthodologique omniprésent a-t- elle élaboré des approches spatiales de la production artistique ?
