	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Sir Ernst Gombrich
		Gombrich was born into an extremely sophisticated family in Vienna, originally Jewish but converted at the turn of the 20th century to a rather mystical protestantism in an ambience close to that of Gustav Mahler.
		Ernst Gombrich's sister was a pupil of the violinist Bronislav Huberman, and had been leader of the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra.
		Gombrich was legendary as the recipient of honours: it often seemed as if the ceremonies prompted a certain melancholy, as if they distracted him from his own deeper purposes, or as if the ceremonies might well be compromising or absurd, despite his belief in the importance and dignity of public institutions.

	Ernst Gombrich
		Gombrich lived with his wife, Ilse Heller, a pianist, whom he married in 1936, in a modest, uncluttered house in Hampstead with a few photographs on the walls by his friend Cartier-Bresson, but with little art, which he said was already available to him at the National Gallery.
		Gombrich was the last member of a formidable dynasty of philosophers and historians who, beginning in central Europe during the nineteenth century, devoted themselves to discovering the deep structures of human culture.
		Gombrich was anathema to the idea that the artistic styles of different periods arose from the “spirit of the age”, the Zeitgeist, or from a mesh of particular historical and cultural circumstances.

		Ernst Gombrich himself, like his parents, was not particularly drawn to the more avant-garde aspects of Viennese intellectual life, but he was brought up with a wide knowledge of European literature, art and especially music, which was to remain his greatest source of pleasure throughout his life.
		It was Gombrich who broke the news to Churchill of the death of Hitler, having recognised the significance of the broadcast of a movement of a symphony of Bruckner written to commemorate the death of Wagner.
		Gombrich concentrated instead on the tasks that artists were given at different periods, the specific problems that they faced, usually involving the representation of elements of the visible world, and the ways in which they tried to solve them.

	Restoring Cultural History: Beyond Gombrich (C. Pavur)
		Gombrich argues that "Hegelian holism" is a long-standing trap in cultural studies.
		Gombrich urges that we bury this implausible idealism and distinguish between periods, which need not be unifiable in any such manner, and movements, whose "syndromes" can be described, but without the implication that changing styles suggest profound psychological changes in humanity (35-38).
		Gombrich encourages a special emphasis on sensing and insight, the drawing of meaningful connections in a way that might remind one of Benjamin's and Adorno's predilection for "constellations of meaning" that come and go, with "the whole" being considered the false.

	The Observer \| Review \| Ernst Gombrich: History man
		Gombrich's A Little History of the World, a book for children now published in English for the first time, is another mental microcosm, summarising progress and regression between the emergence of Neanderthal man and the detonation of the atom bomb.
		Gombrich begins the book by acknowledging that history is first of all a story, the transmission of experience between generations.
		Gombrich was on duty as a monitor when a funeral march by Bruckner resounded over the airways in 1945; he knew at once that this meant Hitler's death.

	Ernst Gombrich
		Ernst Gombrich was born in Vienna as the son of Dr. Karl B. Gombrich, a lawyer, and Professor Leonia (née Hock) Gombrich.
		Gombrich also wrote a biography of Aby Warburg (1866-1929), the founder of the Warburg Institute, who was cultural historian and especially interested in the survival and transformations of the classical traditions.
		Gombrich dealt with such questions as the imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the validity of perspective and the interpretation of expression.

	Observer \| A love of art - and a good espresso
		Sir Ernst Gombrich, or rather E.H. Gombrich as he called himself on the title pages of his many books, was the most eminent and celebrated art historian in the world.
		Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich was born in Vienna on 30 March 1909 - the Vienna of Sigmund Freud (a family friend), of the birth of modern philosophy (Karl Popper was to become an intellectual soul-mate), of modern music (his mother was a pianist who studied under Bruckner and taught Mahler's sister) and of café society.
		Ernst Gombrich had joined the Warburg Institute as a research fellow in 1936, the year he arrived in Britain and the year he married Ilse Hiller, a concert pianist.

		Ernst Gombrich was born in Vienna in 1909, into a family of erudite intellectuals.

		As Gombrich’s granddaughter, Leonie, explains in a preface as carefully articulated as her grandfather’s text, Gombrich’s second book was his landmark and still internationally popular chronicle for adults, The Story of Art—and he went on to write many other books.
		Gombrich clearly had an affinity for that place and period; indeed, his granddaughter’s preface notes that the very first chapter he wrote the first time around was the one concerning the age of chivalry.
		Ernst Gombrich’s sensibility is both a mystery and a language.

		Ernst Gombrich may have been the most widely read art historian of the twentieth century, and so it comes as something of a shock that there is little of the reveries of art appreciation about his works.
		The first shock one encounters with Gombrich is his insistence on works of art as artifacts, objects with histories, rather than examples of a particular style or world view.
		Yet Gombrich did have a particular love for the first stirrings of the Renaissance: “There never was an age to match the majesty of Giotto’s paintings.” However, he was quick to note, it was no age of innocence.

		Acesta este, in definitiv stilul lui Gombrich: lejer, calm, riguros, profund si erudit, simplu fara a fi simplist.
		Demersul lui Gombrich privind abordarea unei teme atat de pretentioase i-a fost cu siguranta inlesnit de amicitia cu Ernst Kris (istoric de arta devenit psihanalist) impreuna cu care demarase savante studii privind citirea expresiilor faciale in arta; subiect cu deschidere spre problemele caricaturii.

		I met Ernst Gombrich in London in 1973, after completing a doctoral thesis dealing, in part, with his work.
		However, Gombrich's application of Freud's ideas differs considerably from more recent psychoanalytically informed work in art history, and his insistence on the canon and long-standing anti-Marxism mark him as a member of an earlier generation of art historians.
		It was during this time that he met Ernst Kris, the art historian-turned-psychoanalyst, with whom he collaborated.

	Ernst Gombrich discusses the concept of cultural history with Peter Burke
		Sir Ernst is well-known for the variety of his interests - from the psychology of perception to Neoplatonism.
		Gombrich suggested that cultural history had been built on Hegelian foundations: that it had been built on Hegel's idea that an age or people had a spirit which expressed itself, or objectified itself, in art, in religion, in law and so on, and that these foundations had crumbled.
		Sir Ernst, I'd like to say how strongly I agree with some of the points you made in your lecture and with two in particular.

		Sir Ernst Gombrich, a major art historian, died in London on November 3rd 2001 at 92.
		A noted specialist of the Renaissance period, especially of Leonardo da Vinci, Gombrich introduced the notion of psychology in the study of art and tackled many aspects of this domain going as far as analysing shadows in paintings.
		Instead, he tried to demonstrate that aesthetic perception was equivalent to a scientific initiative as it simply tested reality especially as an artist was going through several experiments with a view to restoring relief or movement in his works without forgetting to pay attention to the factors of order or disorders.

		Gombrich is more than an authority, he's an advocate, and his love and deep respect for art infuse his invigorating text.
		Gombrich tells the story of art "as the story of a continuous weaving and changing of traditions in which each work refers to the past and points to the future." Gombrich's invaluable history is a veritable celebration of this "living chain." Donna Seaman
		Gombrich tends to return to the same themes throughout history so you can see how different artists portrayed a king, a child, etc. Great care is taken to show why a later phase succeeded an earlier one.

		He was deeply opposed to any account of artistic creativeness which was couched in terms of a collective psyche rather than by reference to individual invention and discoveries which others could then adopt.
