  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1993
    L T 1 TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my special pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1993. The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded over 100,000 grants since 1965 for arts projects that touch every community in the Nation. Through its grants to individual artists, the agency has helped to launch and sustain the voice and grace of a generation--such as the brilliance of Rita Dove, now the U.S. Poet Laureate, or the daring of dancer Arthur Mitchell. Through its grants to art organizations, it has helped invigorate community arts centers and museums, preserve our folk heritage, and advance the perform­ ing, literary, and visual arts. Since its inception, the Arts Endowment has believed that all children should have an education in the arts. Over the past few years, the agency has worked hard to include the arts in our national education reform movement. Today, the arts are helping to lead the way in renewing American schools. I have seen first-hand the success story of this small agency. In my home State of Arkansas, the National Endowment for the Arts worked in partnership with the State arts agency and the private sector to bring artists into our schools, to help cities revive downtown centers, and to support opera and jazz, literature and music. All across the United States, the Endowment invests in our cultural institutions and artists. People in communities small and large in every State have greater opportunities to participate and enjoy the arts.

According to radiocarbon dating, the maritime Bell Beaker culture originated in Portugal in the Tagus River estuary around 2800–2700 BCE, and later extended throughout Western Europe from northern Great Britain to western Germany. This culture is responsible for the spread of copper metallurgy through its entire area of influence. Its name is derived from the characteristic form of its ceramics, produced in the shape of an inverted bell. These Bell Beaker ceramics were prestige items, demonstrating social status. Weaponry and other objects made of copper, as well as gold jewelry, have been found alongside Bell Beaker ceramics in the tombs of warriors. Researchers have determined their dates using carbon-14 dating and have concluded that all of these ceramics can be placed at the end of the Copper Age, during the transition from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BCE. 1 Bowl Bell Beaker culture El Acebuchal, Carmona, Seville ca. 2400-1900 BCE earthenware E21 2 Bowl with Stand Bell Beaker culture El Acebuchal, Carmona, Seville ca. 2400-1900 BCE earthenware E22a (dish), E 22b (stand) Archaeologist George Bonsor found these two Bell Beaker ceramics—a dish and a stand—together during his 1896–97 excavations undertaken at El Acebuchal.

  • Nanban Art and Its Globality: a Case Study of the New Spanish Mural the Great Martyrdom of Japan in 1597*
    21-56 Nanban Art and its Globality Rie Arimura Nanban Art and its Globality: A Case Study of the New Spanish Mural The Great Martyrdom of Japan in 1597* Rie Arimura** DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/hys.n36.73460 Abstract | Traditionally, nanban art has been seen as a simple product of exchanges between Japan, Portugal and Spain. The historiography tends to solely focus on artistic contributions of the Society of Jesus due to the foundation of a painting school in Japan. Thereby, the relevance of the Indo-Portuguese route in the cross-cultural history has been emphasized. However, the research advances of the last decades identify that nanban works consist of artistic inheritances from diverse regions of the world which were connected through the Portuguese and Spanish transoceanic routes. Similarly, Japanese nanban art influenced the artistic productions on the other side of the world. In summary, nanban art cannot be understood without taking into account its global implications. This paper clarifies the changes in epistemological understanding of nanban art, and its redefinitions through a historiographical review. This work also shows the important role of Spanish America in the artistic exchange mechanisms; these interactions occurred reciprocally. Therefore, the New World was one of the regions where Japanese art significantly influenced local productions. To exemplify this phenomenon, we address the influence of nanban art on the mural painting The great martyrdom of Japan in 1597 in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Keywords | (Thesaurus) arts; art history; Asian art; Latin American art. (Author) nanban art; kirishitan art; Spanish American colonial art.
