James Elkins is a theorist in the field of contemporary art history and theory. His extensive academic output is characterized by constant reflection on the methods of art historiography, the relationship between image and knowledge, and the interaction between art and other disciplines. As a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he has promoted crucial debates on art education and writing, questioning the limits of the discipline and proposing new ways of approaching it. Elkins studied at the University of Chicago, where he obtained a PhD in 1989 with a dissertation entitled “Perspective in Renaissance Art and in Modern Scholarship.” His training, which combined theoretical analysis with a material understanding of art, allowed him to develop an approach that integrates artistic practice with academic study.
