ART HISTORY IN SPAIN: A GENERATIONAL HISTORY Gonzalo M. Borras Gualis Translated by Andrea Pinotti and Matthew Rampley. A deep change in the academic discipline of art history in Spain could be noted already some years before the death of the dictator in 1975. Prominent examples of this new direction include Jaime Brihuega Sierra's studies of the social history of the artistic avant-gardes in Spain, Francisco Calvo Serraller's investigations into the theory of painting in the Golden Age (as well as his work as an art critic for the newspaper El Pais) and Juan Antonio Ramirez Dominguez's research into the mass media and his brilliant reflexions on the role of art history in the present.22This short survey of art history in Spain or Madrid centre offers a general systematic outline of its development in terms of generations of scholars.
