It was the age of gargoyles. Edit Did You Know? Goofs Technically, the stone characters in this series are not gargoyles. Gargoyles are the ones that shoot water from their mouths. The ones that are simply stone figures are called grotesques. Quotes Goliath : One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. Dogs were seen as faithful to their masters, loyal, intelligent, and therefore excellent guardians. During the Middle Ages, dogs were generally kept as guardians to protect a house from intruders. This is likely another reason they were chosen so often as a subject for gargoyles. Dog gargoyle on the outer wall of Munich's Neues Rathaus. Another commonly chosen creature was the wolf. Like dogs, they were respected and perceived as intelligent and protective. They were also recognized as working together in packs, which was the way multiple gargoyles around a building were supposed to help protect the architecture. Aside from lions and canines, the eagle was a popular choice. The eagle was the subject of legends, and it was claimed they were one of the only creatures which could slay a dragon. They were also respected for their amazing vision. Another reason gargoyles were popular during the Middle Ages is the fact literacy was not common among the general population. The church was able to convey messages through their gargoyles, and one such message was a reminder of evil and the devil. Their ominous presence was a notice that attending mass was important to remain under the protection of the church. Their perceived magical powers and guardianship of the buildings they graced, also reminded the public that the church was a sacred area, free from the influence of evil spirits. However, there were some members of the clergy who spoke out against gargoyles. Bernard of Clairvaux , a 12th century leader of the church, was an outspoken critic of gargoyles. He gave a vivid account of his reasoning for this and described them as unclean, savage, and absurdities. Lester Burbank Bridaham was wary of these interpretations of gargoyles, and in his book Gargoylaes, Chimeres and the Grotesque in French Gothic Sculpture he pointed to the problem of attributing too much symbolism to the sculpture of the Gothic period. While acknowledging there is symbolism within the architecture, he did not think there were as many messages as some people believe. Gargoyles do seem to have been used as an aid in converting people who were following pagan religions. Many of them reference pagan traditions and folklore, particularly representations of anthropomorphized animals. While gargoyles generally conjure images of Gothic cathedrals like Notre Dame and the buildings of Medieval Europe, they have remained in use in modern times. The majority of modern gargoyles are the grotesques which do not serve as drainage aids, but they are widely given the name gargoyles, and this is what most people consider them to be. They were popular in architecture in the 19th and 20th centuries and many of the great buildings from these eras are adorned with gargoyles. One such building is the Chrysler Building in New York, which features a number of stainless steel gargoyles. Stainless steel gargoyles on the Chrysler Building in New York. Other modern gargoyles can be found on churches, particularly those constructed during the Gothic Revival. The city of Pittsburgh is home to many gargoyles and grotesques as it became swept up in the Gothic Revival movement and they captured the imagination of many architects. It has a number of gargoyles, carved from limestone. The Darth Vader gargoyle in particular was the result of a contest for children, which who were tasked with designing a new gargoyle. One of the more notable modern gargoyles was added to the 12th century Paisley Abbey. The church was renovated during the s, at which point several of the original gargoyles needed to be replaced. In an absurd and rather fabulous move, one of the gargoyles was replaced by a depiction of the alien from the movie of the same name. As bizarre as it seems to have such a modern representation on an ancient church, the gargoyle is not juxtaposed to the beautiful stained-glass windows and Gothic architecture — it blends in perfectly. Yet another example of this modern take on gargoyles is the Chapel of Bethlehem, a French church from the Middle Ages. By the s it was in ruins, and when it was restored the stone mason tasked with sculpting new gargoyles made the unusual decision to base the new gargoyles on modern fictional creatures. As well as another alien gargoyle it really does blend in the Chapel of Bethlehem has a number of gargoyles inspired by the mogwai and gremlins from the movie Gremlins and one depicting a cartoon robot called Grendizer. Although they serve a humble purpose, gargoyles have been an inspiration for architects for thousands of years. Why so many civilizations have decorated such a utilitarian feature in this way is a mystery, but they continue to entertain and impress people today and they will probably remain a feature in buildings constructed for many years to come.

Hanlon illustrates the episode with childlike scenes done in transparent colors, featuring friendly-looking children with big smiles and widely spaced button eyes. One of those rare thrillers whose answers are even more scarifying than its mysteries. A middle-aged woman sidelined by a horrific accident finds even sharper pains waiting on the other side of her recuperation in this expert nightmare by Hardy, familiar to many readers as Megan Hart, author of All the Secrets We Keep , etc. When she awoke, she was minus her gallbladder, two working collarbones and therefore two functioning arms , and her memory. Every day is filled with torments. At the emergency room, her credit card and debit card are declined. She feels that she hates oppressively solicitous Harriett but has no idea why. Her sessions with her psychiatrist fail to heal her rage at her adoptive mother, an addict who abandoned her then returned only to disappear again and die an ugly death. Even worse, her attempts to recover her lost memory lead to an excruciatingly paced series of revelations. Val says Diana asked her to seduce Jonathan. Where can this maze of deceptions possibly end? Ana loves to read and spends all of her free time either reading alone or to her younger brother. She knows every word of the one book she owns. NIGHT OF THE GARGOYLES | Kirkus Reviews Wiesner's duotone charcoal illustrations capture the huge heaviness of the stone figures and their gloomy malevolence as they bump and fly and tumble free in the dark. They are so ugly. They're like fiends that come from the graves at night. They're also very human. Wiesner's funniest scene is a double-page spread of a group of gargoyle creatures hunching and grunting together at a spitting water fountain. They could be the gossips and grousers at your local neighborhood hangout. This book is more a situation than a story, but it makes you face what you've always feared but hadn't quite seen.

  • Gargoyles of Princeton University Ga Grotesque Tour of the Campus
    GARGOYLES of Princeton University Ga grotesque tour of the campus 1 2 Here we were taught by men and Gothic towers democracy and faith and righteousness and love of unseen things that do not die. H. E. Mierow ’14 or centuries scholars have asked why gargoyles inhabit their most solemn churches and institutions. Fantastic explanations have come downF from the Middle Ages. Some art historians believe that gargoyles were meant to depict evil spirits over which the Christian church had triumphed. One theory suggests that these devils were frozen in stone as they fled the church. Supposedly, Christ set these spirits to work as useful examples to men instead of sending them straight to damnation. Others say they kept evil spirits away. Psychologists suggest that gargoyles represent the fears and superstitions of medieval men. As life became more secure, the gargoyles became more comical and whimsical. This little book introduces you to some men, women, and beasts you may have passed a hundred times on the campus but never noticed. It invites you to visit some old favorites. A pair of binoculars will bring you face-to-face with second- and third- story personalities. Why does Princeton have gargoyles and grotesques? Here is one excuse: … If the most fanciful and wildest sculptures were placed on the Gothic cathedrals, should they be out of place on the walls of a secular educational establishment? (“Princeton’s Gargoyles,” New York Sun, May 13, 1927) Note: Taking some technical license, the creatures and carvings described in this publication are referred to as “gargoyles” and “grotesques.” Typically, gargoyles are defined as such only when they also serve to convey water away from a building.

  • A Collision of Gargoyles
    A Collision of Gargoyles 1 S.D. Chrostowska S.D Chrostowska Gargoyles I don’t believe that my peasant will do any harm, for example, to the Lautrec that you have, and I dare even believe that the Lautrec will, by simultaneous contrast, become even more distinguished, and mine will gain from the strange juxtaposition, because the sunlit and burnt, weather-beaten quality of the strong sun and strong air will show up more clearly beside the face powder and stylish outfit. V. van Gogh2 he grotesque figural gargoyle, a peculiarity of Gothic architecture, admits of several overlapping lines of explanation.3 One takes it to be primarily the Telaboration of an architectural necessity — the rainspout — thus a genre of applied art. Another sees it as a three-dimensional apotropaic image, designed to ward off evil. Still another focuses on its edifying symbolism, its capacity for theological work in the profane realm, appealing outside of the church to the vulgar taste and superstitions of the illiterate public in their own, residually pagan visual language. A fourth interpretation — the gargoyle as spiritual distraction — is the fruit of medieval controversy, wherein the clerical criticism of “excessive” monastic art provoked a defence of it. To its detractors, such production, which went beyond gargoyles, was unjustifiable, wasteful, and shameful, a kind of folly that, while it could be aesthetically pleasing and fascinating, was inappropriate for the ecclesia and unacceptable for the cloister, an encroachment upon the religious aesthetics of moderation called for by reformist monasticism.4 To its traditionalist defenders, however, immoderate ecclesiastical art was not only harmless but glorified and rendered service to God, strengthening devotion.5 To these four theories one could add a fifth, archi-aesthetic one: flagrant imaginative play, which the Church somehow tolerated.

Gargoyles on Glatfelter Hall Description When one walks around the campus of Gettysburg College, Glatfelter Hall towers above them, as one of the College’s most commanding edifices. One takes notice of the arched doorways, sunken windows, and the giant bell tower whose occupant chimes on the hour. What one may not notice are the eyes watching from the brownstone; faces and creatures at home in the stone, surveying your every move. Grotesques and gargoyles sit in the moldings, on the window sills and at the junction where roof and wall meet, hidden from the eye that does not have the compulsion to look. These architectural ornaments are not noticed outright because they tend to blend in with the stonework on the building. However, once you have seen them, you never cease to feel their eyes upon you.

Based on the popular Disney/Buena Vista animated television series of the 90s, Gargoyles is back with original canon stories from series creator Greg Weisman. The cancellation of Disneys Gargoyles twelve years ago (thirteen for those who disowned The Goliath Chronicles) still causes pangs of grief in the hearts of fans who have not forgotten just how special of a program it was. Luckily, it was this devotion - along with the enduring enthusiasm of series creator Greg Weisman - that kept the franchise alive long enough for the formation of the comic books to come about. Produced independently from Disney by Slave Labor Graphics, the collected issues #1 through #6 in this compilation continue the storyline following the shows second season, as told by Weisman.Issue #1 reiterates the events of the end of the shows second season before initiating the Quarrymen storyline, which carries over to issue #2.

  • American Animated Action Teams and the Token Female
    THE MODELS OF EMPOWERED FEMININITY WE OFFER YOUNG BOYS: AMERICAN ANIMATED ACTION TEAMS AND THE TOKEN FEMALE Matthew Diebler A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin ii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor The very nature of a hero is to stand as a cultural ideal. The heroes we produce for our children are meant to function as their idealized cultural models, teaching them the positive value of specific embodied traits. This extends to gender: the gendered ideological statements made by these heroic characters promote a gendered cultural ideal. Traditionally, academics interested in female gender representation and children’s television have focused on shows targeting young girls. However, it is just as important to examine the representation of the heroic women in television shows aimed at young boys. Young boys grow into adult men and, in our patriarchal society, male expectations of women play largely into their expectations of themselves. Therefore, the heroines of series marketed at young boys represent the ideal cultural models of empowered femininity, influencing the expectations and criteria these boys will have for “strong” women as they grow into politically powerful men. With all this in mind, it then becomes important to examine these models of ideal empowered femininity. By examining the token females in American animated action/adventure team-based television series marketed toward young boys over the past 30 years (starting with Super Friends in the late 70s, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, ThunderCats, and G.I.
