From the Geography of Art to the Geography of Art History: The Study of Romanesque Forms in the Interwar Period
This presentation discusses the role of art geography in the production of knowledge about Romanesque art in the interwar period. It focuses on the contributions of the Catalan architect and art historian Josep Puig i Cadafalch (1867-1956), as well as his connections and academic debates with scholars in Europe and the United States. Thinking about the art of the past from a geographical point of view allowed interwar scholars to reveal the transnational dimension of the evolution of Romanesque forms. In the early twenty-first century, the transnational dimension allows us scholars to problematise the geography of art history beyond the centre-periphery divide. By focusing on Puig’s contributions to the geography of Romanesque art, this paper explores the exchange of knowledge across Europe’s borderlands and the Atlantic at a crucial historiographical moment.
