Intersections of art and history: Unveiling the significance of artistic narratives in historical discourse
Authors
Maishy Charan
Abstract
This apaper makes an attempt to understand the
methodological principles governing art objects in the disciplines of art
history and history. From early antiquarian interest to the
institutionalization of the Archaeological Survey of India, art history in
India developed as part of the colonial exercise of knowledge production. Thus
the earliest writings on Indian art reflected a colonial perspective and many
assumptions and opinions continue to colour the writings on Indian art history
even today. On the other hand, visual sources continue to remain an
underutilized source for history writing. The article has discussed some recent
works that have emphasized greater use of visuals for writing histories and the
related methodological issues.
