An Informational Blog

The blog contains information about Alois Riegl, member of the Vienna School of Art History. Riegl was one of the major figures in the establishment of art history as a self-sufficient academic discipline, and an influential practitioner of formalism. Riegl's reputation as an innovative art historian, however, was established through his published work that combined his interest in neglected, transitional, periods with his endeavor to disprove the materialist account of the origins of decorative motifs, while explaining the relationship between style and cultural history.
