Narrow and Sectarian Pretensions: George Gustafus Zerffi and the Teaching of Art History.
Chalmers, F. Graeme
Canadian Review of Art Education: Research and Issues, v21 n1 p15-26 1994
Investigates the connection between racism in the public school art curriculum and the ethnocentric ideas of George Zerffi. Zerffi lectured widely and taught art history to future art teachers in England, between 1868 and 1892. Although occasionally brilliant, his views reflected the ethnocentric ideology of Victorian England. (MJP)
