Kultur and acculturation : Erwin Panofsky in the United States of America
This study shows that the historiographical understanding of the life and work of Erwin Panofsky, that most âfamousâ of art historians, remains curiously unresolved, and that the unsatisfactory nature of this appraisal centres upon just how Panofskyâs scholarship developed after 1933, when he was forced to migrate from his home in Germany to the United States of America. Utilising Panofskyâs correspondence this study then provides a contextualised re-evaluation of Panofskyâs experience of acculturation in America, and the effect of this acculturation upon the development of his work.
