The world changed as it adopted the principles of Enlightenment -especially after the American and French revolutions- and was physically transformed by industrialization, stressing reason (science), technology and profit. Bonaparte's conquest of Egypt stirred the Western fascination for it and started an escapist fashion of Orientalism, albeit largely a fantasy version of a romanticized East, while colonies enabled continuous confrontations in reality, in Peruvian-French Gauguin's case a never-ending sequence of frustrations even on paradisiac Tahiti. As a substitute for the Ancient history of the Old World, art schools in the New were fascinated by native American cultures, landscape and wildlife. Photography would impose harsh, vulgar realism, pioneers deviated from traditional technique and POV to create new, less aesthetic styles like expressionism. Written by KGF Vissers

Art plays a major part in recording or even shaping the cultural and general contacts between societies ad their civilizations. Sometimes it testifies to the lack of knowledge about each-other, even stuck in legend and superstition, notably when contacts are rare. Sometimes it's at the core of imperialist annihilation, as the Spanish Conquistadores intentionally crushed the pagan Precolumbian cultures but ironically in the process left precious rare records of largely destroyed Inca, Aztec and Maya empire heritages. Complex relationships develop in the course of exploration and colonization, as in Africa. Economical and military rapports tend to lead the way, but also missionary ambition and, diplomacy involve art. Written by KGF Vissers

Religion is a major domain in art history, possibly from the start in cave paintings, with cosmogony, cultic and magical purposes, votive and funeral, even political practices. It could completely dominate a society and civilization, as in theocratic Pharaonic Egypt. Representation of divinity vary enormously, like zoomorphism, anthropomorphism, stylized or idealized, as in Classical Greek art. It could serve sacrificial, community-building, prestige and didactic purposes; even a whole theological and (socio-)political agenda. Fear of hubris may lead to banning depictions of divinity -and iconoclasm- or even of all life, as in strict interpretations of Islam, leading to alternative styles and promoting fitting techniques, such as stylized or geometric patterns as in Persian carpets, or elaborate abstract decorations in mosaics, tiles, carpentry - Religion-related controversy remains, as in pictorial arts and architecture, opposing novelty to traditions.
