How to Study and Research Art History

This book is not designed as a textbook for students in professional art schools but rather serves as a foundational resource for non-specialist readers with a significant interest in art history. It is the culmination of my extensive study, translation, research, and writing in the field of art history.

Organized into three chapters, the book introduces "Fundamental Knowledge About Art History," "Qualities and Preparation for Studying Art History," and "How to Compose Art History." Through these chapters, readers gain an understanding of general art historical knowledge and are encouraged to venture into the practice of writing about art history.

The book achieves a level of "accessibility" required by the discipline of history while also pointing towards numerous areas for in-depth exploration. Its purpose is to guide readers in overcoming any apprehensions about studying art history, facilitating a relaxed exploration of the knowledge and experiences accumulated by humanity in this field.
