Oxford Bibliographies in Art History

Abstract

A broad and evolving discipline, art history encompasses diverse geographic, historical, and intellectual dimensions. Art scholarship has expanded from its early focus on ancient and Renaissance art to include new art forms, contemporary works, and global perspectives, redefining the canon and emphasizing connections across cultures. Art history has also engaged in new ways with questions of theory, method, and the history of the discipline, as well as with interdisciplinary approaches. Oxford Bibliographies in Art History offers an authoritative guide to this expansive body of literature, addressing both enduring questions and emerging debates. Drawing on expert contributions, it provides selective bibliographic guidance for topics ranging from iconography in Renaissance art to contemporary practices worldwide, serving as an essential resource for researchers.
