Abstract
The purpose of this article is to clarify the difference of theories of art education for international understanding expressed by Herbert Read and Thomas Munro. Their theories contributed to the establishment of the International Society for Education through Art (InSEA) in 1954, forming a basis for the ideology of postwar art education and international understanding. This paper explores and analyzes their theories of art education for international understanding, maintaining in conclusion that while Read criticized UNESCO-oriented cultural globalism, Munro's theories related to such globalism.
