Art History is the study of art over the ages, from the earliest [[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 the study of art over the ages, from the earliest [[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).

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]]
