This book was published to coincide with an exhibition titled Vojtěch Birnbaum: The principle of Art organised by the Archive of Fine Arts at the Centre for Contemporary Art DOX in Prague in 2017, commemmorating the 140th anniversary of the birth of art historian Vojtěch Birnbaum (1877-1934), a pioneering figure in the scholary study of art in the Czech lands. It Explores Birnbaum´s concepts of "principle" and "pattern" in art, which he developed and wrote about in 1920s and 1930s. The book also traces the roots of Birnbaum´s theoretical work within the broader context of European art-historical and philosophical thinking and describes the impact his concept of "development" in art had on the next generation of art historians, who became formative figures in the evolution of his field.
