### Art History Now: Objects, Concepts, Approaches

#### edited by former Junior Fellow Geraldine Johnson

This volume edited by former Junior Fellow [Geraldine Johnson](https://www.hoa.ox.ac.uk/people/professor-geraldine-a.-johnson) (1995 - 98) presents definitive essays by internationally renowned experts and innovative younger scholars on the wide range of approaches used by art historians past and present to analyze images, objects, buildings, and performances.

It provides critical considerations of key methodologies, from formalism and iconography to social history and psychoanalytic approaches. It foregrounds fundamental concepts, from the artist, the beholder, and the frame to museums, canons, and periodization. At the same time, it broadens art itself as a category by considering photographs, digital media, performance, architecture, and visual culture more generally.
