大卫·卡里尔在《艺术史写作原理》一书中分析了艺术史从出现到所谓的“终结”以及终结以后的相关写作手法,并认为随着传统再现性的艺术终结之后,与之相随的那种再现性的艺术史观也终结了。但是这并不代表艺术史学就此终结,而是预示一种新的艺术史写作方法的诞生,这种艺术史写作方法必然是与现代主义与后现代主义艺术风格相匹配的。故此,大卫·卡里尔为我们理解艺术史终结观念,提供了当代新的观察与阐释。 David Carril analyzed the art history from appearance to the so-called “end ” in the book “Principles of Art History Writing” and the relevant writing techniques after the end. He believes that with the end of the art of traditional reproduction, The kind of reproducible art history conquered came to an end. However, this does not mean that art historiography has just ended, but rather indicates the birth of a new method of art history writing. This art history writing method must be matched with the art style of modernism and postmodernism. Therefore, David Carell provided us with new contemporary observations and interpretations for us to understand the idea of ​​the end of art history.
