The meaning of boundaries in art history

For most historians, to speak of boundaries is to speak, first and foremost, of politics or political geography. Similarly, when speaking about art history and boundaries we primarily think of the relationship of that discipline to certain political concepts or programs whose ultimate goal was to maintain the old or establish new boundaries. Using examples that relate to Croatia and South Eastern Europe, I will say more on this in the first part of my presentation, referring to the art historians from 19. Ct. Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski and Rudolf Eitelberger. In the second part, I will look at reflections on boundaries in local art history from the methodological perspective of the geography of art, especially in the art historical theory of Ljubo Karaman. I will conclude my presentation with a reference to a contemporary attempt at transborder empirical art history in Southeast Europe. My witness in this case is historian of architecture, Slobodan Ćurčić, and his book Architecture in the Balkans from Diocletian to Süleyman the Magnificent, published in 2010.
