Greek Gods and Goddesses from the Early Classical Period

By Sabine Schmalbeck

The theme of this exhibition is Greek Gods and Goddesses from the Early Classical period. The Early Classical period, also called the Period of Transition, lasted from c. 480-450 BCE. [1] It was the transitional period between the Archaic period and the High Classical period.

Throughout the Classical period, the Greeks were interested in humanism, rationalism, and idealism.[2] The attention to detail and realism are due to their dedication to depicting accurate human bodies. In the Early Classical period, the bodies, especially the sculpted pieces, show more ...

The Male Figure in High Classical Greek Art: Striving for Perfection

By Jackson Goode

Ancient Greece is one of the most powerful civilizations to have ever existed, and despite being long gone, the impact of their societies are still felt even today. Over the course of a millennia, the peoples of the Peloponnese would evolve through many stages and give us the artistic ideals that still linger. The most significant of Ancient Greece’s artistic aspirations was their aim at true perfection.

Perfection is a lofty ideal, but in the art world, it is one that we run into frequently ...

Do Music And Art Influence One Another? Measuring Cross-Modal Similarities In Music And Art, Amanda Catherine Duthie

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The visual arts and music are known to interact with one another on both an individual scale (such as music-inspired synesthetes and artist-musician duos) and on a grand scale (such as the art movement Baroque, wherein abstract qualities such as "ornamentation" permeate both media). The aim of this paper was to find a means to measure similarities and differences between music and visual art. This is ultimately to both reveal any direct cross-modal influences between the media, and to apply them on a temporal scale to determine whether these connections became stronger or weaker throughout time. I examined the cross-modally ...

The Homoerotic Architectures Of Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, Samuel Mcintyre

Undergraduate Honors Theses

This thesis examines how architectures (both literal and metaphorical) in Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) serve to mediate or express homoerotic desire in late-Victorian London. Through an examination of the novel's urban setting, its formal structures, and Stevenson's own architectural history, the thesis tracks an emergence in the fin de siècle of the homosexual as an identity category in an iconic literary work that predates the Oscar Wilde trials (1895). The novel's queer coterie of professional men and Dr. Jekyll's carefully structured home are explored as failed strategies ...
