Humanists versus Relativists. Visions and Revisions of the Vienna School Methodological Doctrine The Vienna School of Art History based art historical research on the belief in method and its scientific nature. The orthodox epistemological model of the Vienna School as formulated by Alois Riegl regarded art history as an exact and non-partial objective science. Riegl’s followers developed and transformed or critically revised his model. The present paper deals with the process of transformations and revisions of the Vienna School orthodox model.

Towards a Horizontal Art History The author proposes a theory of a horizontal art history as both a critique of the vertical one, understood as hierarchical and Western oriented scholarly practice, as well as the proposed methodological approach to rewrite a history of modern art along with the pluralistic and non-hierarchical model. The model suggested here is based on an equality of different art historical narratives. Its crucial point is to negotiate different discourses, not in order to create one alternative super-structure, but rather to unveil a dynamic process of exchanging values between them.
