Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Another reasonably good catalog from the MET, accompanying an exhibition from 2012. The book offers 9 contributions that explore the development of Ancient Egyptian art in the very early period, from 4,000 to 2,700 BCE, so before the Old Kingdom with its gigantic pyramids. So no spectacular art, and as we have even fewer sources of information there are even more problems interpreting everything properly. For the average layman, this book may be a bit too detailed and technical, it makes a valuable contribution to a better understanding of Ancient Egyptian civilization.

The cultural icons of Pharaonic Egypt, from the Great Sphinx at Giza to the famous burial of Tutankhamun, are among the world's most renowned works of art. Less well known, but equally impressive, are the rare and ancient images of people, animals, and landscapes made by the Egyptians who lived prior to the age of the pharaohs, when the formal conventions of Egyptian art had not yet fully evolved. With illustrations of more than 180 objects created from about 4000 to 2650 BC, Dawn of Egyptian Art presents the art forms and iconography in which the early Egyptians recorded their beliefs about the land where they lived, the yearly events that took place there, and what they thought was important to the eternal survival of their world. Comprehensive texts explore the origins and early development of the culture of ancient Egypt while discussing the relationship between image and writing as well as the representation of the self and the universe.
