Abstract

In 1955 René Huyghe emphasized the passage of the civilization of the book to the civilization of the image and the necessity to change the methodologies of art history. After this moment a line of thought based on the experience of the observer was developed. This thought, very important in the aesthetic theories of the ‘60s, was transferred to art history from the ‘70s onwards. Different authors have studied art history by putting the spectator in a preferential place. This paper studies authors like Greenberg, Baxandall and Alpers –who put the experience of the eye and the visual culture in the centre of their interests– in order to analyse their methodological uses in relation with the new methodologies given by the new art history.
