		We also use the word art in a more general sense to encompass other forms of creative activity, such as dance, drama, and music, or even to describe skill in almost any activity, such as “the art of bread making” or “the art of travel.” In this article art refers to the visual arts.
		A definition of art that seems correct to many Americans in the 21st century is likely to differ greatly from definitions of art in non-Western cultures, in tribal societies, and in other historical periods.
		We could speak instead of “art that is displayed in museums,” “art that is taught in art history classes,” or “art that art critics can interpret.” These expressions would encompass tribal objects and give them an intellectual value, no matter who made them or what their intent may have been.

		Otherwise, according to www.getty.edu/artsednet/res...glossary.html, the concept of art historian is as loosely stated as "Someone who studies the art and artists of previous eras." This can be done by a simple trip to a museum or glance at a picture book or even hearing about a work or the modus operandi of an artist.
		A good historian of art is a good artist in that he too composes with his synthetic engine, a brain that moves in the same manner across the path of a delighted creation by advancing theory about how the artist presents the mold, applies the deep understanding as Tolstoy alluded.
		The art historian, a curator, takes a stab at composition by filling a room or demarking a venue where the collection in his mind made manifest by the placement of pieces indicative of his vision in the context of community at that time and place also reveals the historian as artist.

		Art historians are often key players in the international trade in cultural property and have a responsibility to distinguish the licit trade from illicit trade and to suppress the latter.
		An art historian who made his or her reputation through knowledge and connoisseurship of the work of a given artist or culture has a moral obligation to these sources to expose fakes and forgeries when to do so comes within his or her competence and can be established beyond a reasonable doubt.
		For an art historian to turn away from this activity on the grounds that he or she does not have the time is to pass this obligation on to others who may or may not be competent to expose the crimes involved and the effect could be a diminution of the quality of the profession.

	UNC Writing Center Handout \| Art History
		Although art historians vary in their approaches to art, there are a few common approaches that form the backbone of the field.
		Most art historians include formal analysis at some point in their essays, so there are a lot of examples to look at in the textbook and other readings, but you will probably have to be more in-depth than they are.
		Art historians study iconography and iconology so often that they have compiled reference texts that list many of the famous works that show particular themes--you might use these as a resource, so ask the art librarian about them.

		While undergraduate and graduate programs in art history, with the faculty and staff to support them, are now more common at a number of this region's major institutions, smaller colleges with heavy teaching responsibilities often have only one or two art historians on their faculty.
		The formats, for instance, often chosen by art historians for the presentation of their research activities -- the organization of exhibitions, the preparation of accompanying catalogues, the publication of catalogues raisonnés, etc. -- may be unfamiliar to those not in the discipline.
		The scholarly productivity of an art historian should be regarded as being directly related to such factors as the mission of the department and the institution, the nature of the faculty member's research, access to source materials necessary to its advancement, and the availability of institutional support of for research materials and necessary travel.

	Art Bulletin, The: Encyclopedia of Aesthetics. - book review
		It may be argued that art historians have some working concept of the aesthetic that informs their choice of subject matter and its description.
		It is interesting, though, that in the early 20th century significant questions of aesthetics were raised for art historians by art historians, not by professional philosophers.
		A recent event, again staged in Berlin, had a neuro-physiologist, psychoanalyst, classicist, art historians, and a philosopher discussing "Das Bild: Image, Picture, Painting." The aesthetician concluding the event remin ded the speakers and audience that the discussion of the topic should not allow itself to be dominated by the professional philosophers.
