@nazar Hi
I guess I am here at last. Unbumdling these very vatied approaches is actually instrumental to the development in art historical discuss and research. Borrowing from several Yoruba proverbs. I give two examples here- ohun to koju senikan ehin lo ko si omiran… What faces an individual, backs another. In other words we sometimes or in many instances view issues from different perspectives. That is the variety and spice that I have particularly enjoyed with art history. The other proverb simply says “you assume that your fathers farm is the biggest because you haven’t visited another farm” this points to the limitless boundaries that art history is now engaging with. Going back to the allusions to sciences, Einstein and others, today we know more than what they know in terms of the size of the galaxy and planetey bodies. The question is what do we start doing with these knowleges. How do we apply this knowledge and deja vou to our spaces and places in investigating art?
