“世界艺术史”是艺术史研究接受“多元文化主义”的产物,它拒斥西方“单线艺术史叙事”的诸多模式,从而确立了世界范围内艺术史的基本格局。然而,世界艺术史不能只建基在西方的艺术概念之上,其内在结构也不是单向流动而是趋于多元互动的,世界艺术史需要在“世界艺术研究”的坚实基础上,进而走向“跨文化”更高阶段的“全球艺术史”。 “World Art History ” is a product of the acceptance of “multiculturalism ” in the study of art history. It rejects many models of western “one-line art history narration ” and establishes the basic pattern of art history in the world. However, the history of art in the world can not only be based on the concept of art in the West, but its internal structure is not one-way flow but tends to be multi-interactive. The art history of the world needs to be based on the solid foundation of “World Art Research” And then to the higher level of “cross-cultural” “global art history ”.
