The Art History of Michael Baxandall, Part 2: What is Inferential Criticism of Art?
This entry continues a series of posts on the art historian Michael Baxandall Subsequent posts in the series can be found here , here , and here. But the operative word here is inferential. Baxandall draws a crucial distinction between art writing that tries to recount the stroke-by-stroke stages by which a painter creates a picture and art writing that uncovers the salient circumstances that shape the concrete intentions that produce artworks. The problems that arise for the inferential critic are precisely those that define the procedure of making inferences. Moreover, this critical impulse is driven by the notion that in the making of pictures, painters Picasso in Chapter 2, Piero in Chapter 3, and, in the case of Chapter 1, bridge-builder Benjamin Baker are problem-solvers. Let us consider what Baxandall means by this before enumerating the difficulties he sees in making this assumption.
