The essay proposes a synthesis of the reception by Italian scholars of Max Dvořák’s art history theories between the 1920s and the 1940s. The resistance to his thought for both linguistic and ideological reasons will be underlined mostly based on the reviews and essays influenced by Adolfo Venturi and Benedetto Croce. Reference will also be made to some unlucky attempts to translate and communicate Dvořák’s writings, and to the evidence of a possible dialogue between Vienna and Rome.

Abstract

The essay proposes a synthesis of the reception by Italian scholars of Max Dvořák’s art history theories between the 1920s and the 1940s. The resistance to his thought for both linguistic and ideological reasons will be underlined mostly based on the reviews and essays influenced by Adolfo Venturi and Benedetto Croce. Reference will also be made to some unlucky attempts to translate and communicate Dvořák’s writings, and to the evidence of a possible dialogue between Vienna and Rome.
