ARHI 30120 Lecture 13: 10/5/17 - Narrative and Greek Amphorae and Kraters
Document Summary
1) work out detailed analysis of monumentality. 2) talk about purpose, how this is accomplished, and what they accomplished. Man looked at polar opposites (archetype representation, not a specific individual, later included state of being: young vs old etc. ) Myth - tried to approach problem between man and divinity. Technology was improved for attaining more detail. Lion ripping apart deer - lion looking at us. Not a narrative monumental, preparing for the crossing of the boundary between life and death, not a pleasant feeling, because of the greek"s view of death. Story/narrative: figures in profile, interacting with each other, not invading our space. Confrontational approach - lions stand for something beyond themselves. Narrative vs emblem to prepare us for the crossing of a boundary. Belly of the pot, we can"t make out as much, but there was white. Transition from secondary emblem and primary narrative to the reverse. Same location on the pot, bust different primary part.
