The father of the modern art criticism is Heinrich Wölfflin. He was born on June 21, 1864 and he was a Swiss art historian, whose objective classifying principles were influential in the development of formal analysis in art history in the early 20th century. He taught at Basel, Berlin and Munich in the generation that raised German art history to pre-eminence. He sadly passed away on July 19, 1945. Hoped this helped have an AMAZING day :D
