these countries and their cultures have also become in this sense
postcolonial.
Art historians, then, are involved in a much more wide-ranging
investigation than those working in a single discipline may realise.
Their studies of, for example, the power colonial regimes had in shaping
the training of artists and designers in the territories they invaded
and occupied – for example, the establishment of British art acade-
mies, such as the Calcutta Mechanics Institution and School of Art
(founded 1854) – are part of a much broader radical social and cultural
history of colonialism. Both traditional crafts activities and western
notions of art and artistic production became meshed in the crea-
tion of this colonial culture. These societies – even after the retreat
of the imperialists – were changed for ever in this process.
