Art history has historically been understood as the academic study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts, i.e. genre, design, format, and style. This includes the "major" arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture as well as the "minor" arts of ceramics, furniture, and other decorative objects.
As a term, art history (also history of art) encompasses several methods of studying the visual arts; in common usage referring to works of art and architecture. Aspects of the discipline overlap. As the art historian Ernst Gombrich once observed, "the field of art history [is] much like Caesar's Gaul, divided in three parts inhabited by three different, though not necessarily hostile tribes: (i) the connoisseurs, (ii) the critics, and (iii) the academic art historians".
See the example at night
And I’m waiting, I don’t mention other names
I’m watching people as they change
I’m watching people fade away
When we demuse ourselves
We fall in lines in the middle of the sea
Who paint the pictures of a queen
The way they wanted it to be
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
In a free ball game in a house where no one hear the
alarm
I see the purpose come and go
I hear their voices in the cold
And your magazines – they’re with people live in cities
by the sea
Where the conscience is clear
You’re turning, I could hear
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and alarms in Tokyo
