Abstract
As a tradition, art history focuses on the creation and generation of artworks, but the evolution of art requires the writing of its history to be open, neutral and comprehensive. By referring to the definitions of art from the perspective of analytic aesthetics and relating to Bourdieu’s theorization of art field and analysis of autonomation, this paper tries to conceive a history of arts field through placing the relational elements concerning art and artworks into the inner and outer art field. The paper maintains that the history of art field may open up the genesis and future as well as the category of the art. Meanwhile, the neutral stance in writing art history can break through the dilemma between having to make value judgments from the present context and being unable to objectively restore the history context.
