This paper is an analysis of historical inquiry. Four styles of historical investigation are identified: realistic, formal, expressive, and pragmatic. Each style is considered for the philosophical assumptions of the historian, the methods employed, criteria for judgment, and examples of the style in the literature of art education. Some conclusions are reached regarding contributions that history can make to the field of art education.
