Magdalena Kunińska59), celebrate the 130th jubilee or ad-
vance research on particular Lviv scholars. For all its con-
jugating of Lviv through every possible clause, the con-
cept of 'Lviv school of art history left us with very little
knowledge about particular persons and achievements of
this milieu, forsaking Podlacha's first Polish handbook on
art historical methodology, Lanckorońskas Lviv lectures
or Gębarowiczs post-war theoretical reflections, to name
only the most obvious gaps. Fortunately, that leaves us
with a lot to discover.
SUMMARY
Violetta Korsakova
ON LVIV ART HISTORIANS AND A SCHOOL
THAT NEVER WAS
The article deals with the concept of Lviv school of art
history, used with regard to Polish art historians working
at Lviv University from 1893 till 1939. Tracing the histori-
cal development of the term, fully formed in the works of
Adam Małkiewicz, I identify and subsequently question
two of its key narratives: that of the Lviv scholars' scien-
tific consonance and their opposition to contemporary art
historical practices in Cracow. This critical revision brings
attention to the meaning of the 'Lviv school' concept for
the historical identity of the discipline as well as for the
modern-day Polish art history.
