  • Lighting and Byzantine Glass Tesserae
    EVA London Conference ~ 11–13 July 2007 Eva Zányi, Carla Schroer, Mark Mudge, and Alan Chalmers _____________________________________________________________________ LIGHTING AND BYZANTINE GLASS TESSERAE Eva Zányi†, Carla Schroer‡, Mark Mudge‡, Alan Chalmers† † Warwick Digital Laboratory University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL United Kingdom [email protected], [email protected] http://www.warwickdigital.org ‡ Cultural Heritage Imaging San Francisco USA [email protected], [email protected] http://www.c-h-i.org Abstract – A key component of many Byzantine churches was the mosaics on the curved walls and ceilings, which included gold and silver glass tesserae. As the viewer or the light moved within the church, these tesserae sparkled. In this paper we describe how we captured a Polynomial Texture Map of the apse mosaic at the Angeloktisti Church at Kiti, Cyprus and used it to investigate how the position of the lighting may have affected the appearance of the mosaic. Our study showed that the appearance of the mosaics is indeed significantly different when lit from various directions. INTRODUCTION From the outside Byzantine churches look unimposing; without much decoration, no paint or precious materials. This is very different to the interior, which provided those inside the space with dramatic visual affects aiming at alleviating and engaging the viewer to approach God [14]. The architecture used light and shadow to symbolically represent different sacral hierarchies and direct the attention of the viewer. Therefore the upper parts of the churches, which represented heaven, were better lit than the lower parts. In early Byzantium this was achieved with the help of daylight through small xxxx Figure 1.

  • FROM JAPONISME to ART NOUVEAU Matthew Martin Japanese Art Is Important As a Teacher
    FROM JAPONISME TO ART NOUVEAU Matthew Martin Japanese art is important as a teacher. From it, we once again learn to feel clearly how far we have strayed from nature's true designs through the persistent imitation of fixed models; we learn how necessary it is to draw from the source; how the human spirit is able to absorb a wealth of magnificent, naive beauty from the organic forms of nature in place of pedantic, decrepit rigidity of form. Julius Lessing, Report from the Paris Exposition Universelle, 1878 In the nineteenth century, an age where art from many different cultures was available for consumption, no other art had such a deep, transformational and permanent impact on the West as that of Japan. A five decade-long fascination began in exoticism, with widespread, literal copying of Japanese motifs and techniques, and ended in the absorption of Japanese aesthetic principles to the point that we no longer see anything overtly Japanese in European art and design of the turn of the twentieth century—the brief, brilliant moment of Art Nouveau, now widely recognised as the beginning of modern design. As the term `Japonisme' suggests, Japanese art had an enormous impact on the arts in France from the 1860s onwards.' The second half of the nineteenth century was a period of soul searching for intellectuals and artists across Europe. Many believed that the rise of industrial production in the nineteenth century had destroyed taste. Concomitant with this was the belief that quality of taste reflected the health — or lack thereof— of a society.

    CRAFT IN AMERICAmemory: fragments Preview A fragment is, by definition, a small piece of some larger whole. In this section of Educator Guide: Memory, teachers will help students develop an understanding of how selected craft artists work with the notion of fragments and then guide them through a variety of inquiry-based explorations. By working with the notion of fragments themselves, students will deepen their knowledge and understanding and gain greater insight into this important aspect of craft in America.

  • The Arts of Early Twentieth Century Dining Rooms: Arts and Crafts
    THE ARTS OF EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY DINING ROOMS: ARTS AND CRAFTS, ART NOUVEAU, AND ART DECO by SUE-ANNA ELIZA DOWDY (Under the Direction of John C. Waters) ABSTRACT Within the preservation community, little is done to preserve the interiors of historic buildings. While many individuals are concerned with preserving our historic resources, they fail to look beyond the obvious—the exteriors of buildings. If efforts are not made to preserve interiors as well as exteriors, then many important resources will be lost. This thesis serves as a catalog of how to recreate and preserve an historic dining room of the early twentieth century in the Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco styles.

Each student is assigned a workstation equipped with its own workspace and torch. Each workspace has all the tools she/he needs, including: steel spindles or needles, safety glasses, pan pot of graphite, flat pliers to shape the glass, vermiculite to cool beads, etc. In addition, many glass rods of many different colors. The number of students per class is limited to 8. This allows the instructor a personalized evaluation, constant feedback and instructions. During the course, students will learn about tools for beads design and creation, most of glass fusion techniques, from the project to the professional production of the beads, designing jewelry, and strategy of sales. On the 3rd of December, students will visit the Glass Museum in Murano.

  • Authentication
    AUTHENTICATION 1. LOGO Authentication starts with a logo. No logo, no Montici. True, Blow issued a limited number of mosaic pieces with no logo between the start of his mosaic career circa 1947 and the creation of the first Montici logo in 1951. But the odds are against finding such early pieces on the market. Pyramids and Dots On May 25, 1951, Blow registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office his famous, classic black- and-white “two-triangle” logo, Blow had impeccable style and taste, right down to his choice of material for his tiny, signature logo. These original logos were made out of legendary Murano glass from Venice, called murino in Italian. Per Lastrucci, the glass came out of the fire in the form of aa tube; the tube was then sliced into individual logos. According to scholars, Venetians have been making glass for over 1,500 years, and on the Venetian island of Murano since the 13th century. In addition to the original 1951 Logo, Blow also created and used a second logo, a stylized letter “M” with a white dot on top. This dot logo was registered in Italy on Feb. 23, 1956. Why he created a second logo is an interesting story, shared with our sister Rosemary by maestro Bruno Lastrucci. At some point in the 1950s, the workshop ran out of logos, due to the exploding demand for Blow’s art pieces. While impatiently waiting for the reorder from Venice, Blow created the second logo to fill the gap. The simple dot ended up as a “cap” when translated into material.
