  • A Look Inside Central Library
    A LOOK INSIDE CENTRAL LIBRARY With its breathtaking façade, sweeping grand lobby and vast contemporary and historical collections, OUR Central Library is a Brooklyn icon. The building’s history dates to 1898, when the Brooklyn Park Commission was authorized to select a location for the library. In 1912, ground was broken on architect Raymond F. Almirall’s imposing Beaux-Arts design, HISTORY but construction slowed and eventually ceased as the nation and the borough endured economic difficulties brought on by World War One and the Great Depression. A single unfinished wing sat empty on Flatbush Avenue for more than two decades, until construction resumed on a redesigned Central Library in 1935. The building finally opened to the public on February 1, 1941. At 352,000 square feet, with a circulation of more than 1.7 million materials and an annual door count of 1.3 million visits, Central is Brooklyn’s home library, one of New York City’s foremost cultural, civic and educational institutions. Designed to resemble an open book, Central Library is clad in limestone with 1 2 3 impressive Art Deco detailing by sculptors Thomas Hudson Jones and Carl P. Jennewein. Perhaps the building’s most striking feature is its 50-foot-high entry portico, set into a concave façade that reflects the elliptical configuration of Grand Army Plaza. The dramatic entrance is adorned by fifteen bronze sculptures of famous characters and personages from American literature, framed by columns with a series of gilded bas-reliefs depicting the evolution of art and science.

    ARCL0017 GREEK ART AND ARCHITECTURE UCL - INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY Coordinator: Dr. Eva Mol Office hours: weekly chat sessions Wed 12-1pm or by appointment between Mon-Wed 9-17pm. Email: [email protected]; Year 2/3 BA Module, 15 credits Please see the online IoA Student Handbook for instructions on coursework submission, IoA referencing guidelines and marking criteria, as well as UCL policies on penalties for late submission. ARCL0017 1. OVERVIEW&SCHEDULE Introduction This module introduces Greek art and architecture in the period 2500-50 BC. In the context of a broad chronological survey, the focus is on three main themes: (1) the relationship between Greek art and society (2) addressing current problems in Greek art history and contemporary society, and (3) extensive training in visual analysis and the different lenses to look at Greek art. This year, as the course will be taught remotely, it will consist of different modes of online teaching that contain individual creativity, group fun, and lively discussions using famous objects and buildings belonging to the so-called ‘Greek canon’, and lesser known or even excluded object categories that will expand our idea of what Greek art is. Normally, we would go to the British Museum together, and look at all the incredible objects up close. This is not possible for the semester, but that does not mean we cannot discuss or study them. In fact, teaching the module online will provide us with the great opportunity to look beyond the British Museum (or any museum for that matter) and the Classical canon, and discuss together what Greek Art is right now, and how make it more relevant in the future.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

  • And KEEPING up with the PERSIANS Some Reflections on Cultural Links in the Persian Empire
    Working draft, not for distribution without permission of the author 1 ‘MANNERS MAKYTH MAN’ and KEEPING UP WITH THE PERSIANS Some reflections on cultural links in the Persian Empire Christopher Tuplin (University of Liverpool) Revised version: 9 June 2008 The purpose of the meeting (according to the web site) is to explore how ancient peoples expressed their identities by establishing, constructing, or inventing links with other societies that crossed traditional ethnic and geographic lines. These cross-cultural links complicates, undermine, or give nuance to conventional dichotomies such as self/other, Greek/barbarian, and Jew/gentile In the Achaemenid imperial context this offers a fairly wide remit. But it is a remit limited – or distorted – by the evidence. For in this, as in all aspects of Achaemenid history, we face a set of sources that spreads unevenly across the temporal, spatial and analytical space of the empire. For what might count as an unmediated means of access to a specifically Persian viewpoint we are pretty much confined to iconographically decorated monuments and associated royal inscriptions at Behistun, Persepolis and Susa (which are at least, on the face of it, intended to broach ideological topics) and the Persepolis Fortification and Treasury archives (which emphatically are not). This material is not formally or (to a large extent) chronologically commensurate with the voluminous, but unevenly distributed, Greek discourse that provides so much of the narrative of Achaemenid imperial history. Some of it may appear more commensurate with the substantial body of iconographically decorated monuments (most not associated with inscriptions) derived from western Anatolia that provides much of the material in the two papers under discussion.

  • THE APOXYOMENOS of LYSIPPUS. in the Hellenic Journal for 1903
    THE APOXYOMENOS OF LYSIPPUS. IN the Hellenic Journal for 1903, while publishing some heads of Apollo, I took occasion to express my doubts as to the expediency of hereafter taking the Apoxyomenos as the norm of the works of Lysippus. These views, how- ever, were not expressed in any detail, and occurring at the end of a paper devoted to other matters, have not attracted much attention from archaeolo- gists. The subject is of great importance, since if my contention be justified, much of the history of Greek sculpture in the fourth century will have to be reconsidered. Being still convinced of the justice of the view which I took two years ago, I feel bound to bring it forward in more detail and with a fuller statement of reasons. Our knowledge of many of the sculptors of the fourth century, Praxiteles, Scopas, Bryaxis, Timotheus, and others, has been enormously enlarged during the last thirty years through our discovery of works proved by documentary evidence to have been either actually executed by them, or at least made under their direction. But in the case of Lysippus no such discovery was made until the very important identification of the Agias at Delphi as a copy of a statue by this master. Hitherto we had been content to take the Apoxyomenos as the best indication of Lysippic style ; and apparently few archaeologists realized how slender was the evidence on which its assignment to Lysippus was based. That assignment took place many years ago, when archaeological method was lax ; and it has not been subjected to sufficiently searching criticism.

Throughout its existence it has served as a visual representation of various political ideologies, ranging from Prussia’s imperialism to East Germany’s communism. It was closed by the East Germans on 14 August 1961 in a response to West Berliners’ demonstration against the building of the wall dividing their city into East and West. It remained closed until 22 December 1989. Its design is based upon the gate way to the Propylaea, the entry into the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It has 12 Doric columns, six to a side, forming five passageways. The central archway is crowned by the Quadriga, a statue consisting of a four horse chariot driven by Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory. After Napoleon’s defeat, the Quadriga was returned to Berlin and the wreath of oak leaves on Victoria was replaced with the new symbol of Prussia, the Iron Cross. i A CITYC ITY TORNTO RN APART a family divided A couple from Berlin may never see each other again because they became separated by the newly formed Berlin Wall.
