The Influence of the Vienna School of Art History before and after 1918 | conference

The Vienna School of Art History determined the direction of art history research in central and more distant parts of Europe even after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The international conference focuses on the reception of the Viennese method of art history research in the countries of the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century and in the national schools of art history after 1918 on the territory of what are now the countries of Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Ukraine, Poland, Austria and Czechia.
