Slobodan Dan Paich -academic bio- is the principal researcher of this aspect of Artship Initiatives. From 1969 he extended the teaching of history of art to include ideas, music, literature, architecture, crafts of east and west and indigenous expressions.

One of the interests of Artship's historic research is as a possible inspiration for contemporary art, not in a traditionalist sense but as a response to continuity and renewal.
