Description
In 1935 <b>Erwin Panofsky</b> (1892-1968) was appointed the first
'permanent member' of the School of Humanistic Studies (now the School
of Historical Studies) at the <b>Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton</b>. The famous institute was founded by the American educator
<b>Abraham Flexner</b> (1866-1959). This essay contributes to the
content and context of Panofsky's important lecture <b> "The History of
Art as a Humanistic Discipline"</b> from1938. The publication of that
lecture functioned as a manifesto written by an intellectual
<b><i>émigré</i></b> in a new American context. It is thanks to Panofsky
that the <i>locus classicus</i> of iconography, as <b>Irving Lavin</b>
(1927-2019) described the Institute for Advanced Study, received the
compelling arguments for an "art history that deserves to be counted
among the humanities." A close reading of the text and an analysis of
its <b>impact</b> can still teach us something about the <b>origins</b>
and development of the Art Historical field and <b>Iconological Studies
today</b>.
