This 1999 book provides an analysis of Hegel's art history. Analogous to his philosophy of history, Hegel viewed the history of art in dialectical terms: with its origins in the Ancient Near East, Western art culminated in Classical Greece, but began its decline already in the Hellenistic period. Yet modern art refuses to abide by Hegel's programmed demise.
