Max Dvořák and Turn of Art (History) to Work of Art
Murár, Tomáš
In the last years of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, it is possible to observe in literature and the visual arts the destabilisation of previously valid values in relation to tradition, which was no longer able to sufficiently express the world in its completeness. This process can also be observed in art historical research, in its shift away from research into the autonomous development of art towards defining a work of art by thinking about the time of its creation. This transformation is identified in particular with the influence of the spiritual sciences (Geisteswissenschaften), which were also developed by the Czech-born art historian Max Dvořák. In this paper it will be shown, using his thought as an example, how the art historical definition of the work of art can be related to the art of the early 20th century, i.e. as defining itself against the hitherto valid thought concepts of the late 19th century.
