Features: When an artist's creative practice shifts from a state without historical awareness to consciously pursuing novelty and change forward according to a priori given developmental models, the continuous advancement of art will inevitably lead it to a historical endpoint.

Research on Western art history; 3. Research on Chinese and foreign art education; 4. Research on contemporary art and artists. The author examines and analyzes the current state and existing problems of the discipline of art history and Chinese and foreign art education from different historical and cultural perspectives, and offers new interpretations and evaluations of important artists and artistic phenomena in Chinese and foreign art history.
