Features: I hope readers will believe that one of the most urgent issues today is to reflect on the permanence of certain values inherited from the past. These values are often embedded in great art. This book is a collection of articles written by the author in recent years on the teaching and research of Western art history in the West. It includes visual and textual interpretations of ancient Western artworks, analyses and critiques of contemporary art phenomena in different cultural contexts, and introductions to the history and culture of Western art museums from the perspective of the public sphere. Based on art history research, it attempts to adopt multiple perspectives, involving fields such as history, law, and anthropology. In style, it strives for a straightforward narrative while maintaining the continuity of "looking" and "thinking."
