'''Art history''' is the study of [[art]] over the ages, from the earliest [[Prehistoric painting|cave paintings]] to the latest avant garde works of the 21st Century. Art history is usually divided into different [[art movements]] or organized by region, country, century or even decade (ie. American Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s).

Art history is usually divided into different [[art movements]] or organized by region, country, century or even decade (i.e. American Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s).
The modern way of studying art history is based upon a linear progression, with one art movement following another or sometimes co-existing at the same time (ie. [[Dada]] and [[Surrealism]] started roughly around the same time and shared similar ideas). This idea of studying art history and explaining it is sometimes called the Greenberg Method, after the art critic [[Clement Greenberg]].
