[Frederick Hart Sculpture @HartSculpture]

The creator of hundreds of public monuments, private commissions, portraits, and other works of art, Frederick E. Hart (Frederick Elliott Hart) was one of the most accomplished sculptors of the latter half of the 20th century. #FrederickHart

A wonderful 3,200 year old Egyptian tablet listing the excuses of workers who failed to turn up for their shift!

Excuses include, among many, "busy brewing beer", "a scorpion bit him", and "drinking with Khonsu".

Tomb of Pierre de Bauffremont, Flemish relief carving, carboniferous limestone. Four monks with heads covered in mourning represent a solemn funeral procession. Commissioned for a Burgundian court official in 1453, the tomb was never finished. (Walters Art Museum) #MedievalArt

Drawing on the power and strength of lions, falcons and other desert-dwelling wild animals, ancient Egyptian artists also celebrated the flora and fauna of the cultivated riverside, emblems of renewal and abundance. (New Kingdom to Ptolemaic, Walters Art Museum) #AncientSculpture

La scultura di Frederick Hart adorna la facciata della Cattedrale Nazionale di Washington denominata Ex Nihilo

Appaiono otto figure di uomini e donne ad occhi chiusi poiché ancora privi di consapevolezza e coscienza

Insieme alla creazione del giorno e notte e quella dell'uomo

We added an extremely cool thing to our shelves today: a 38-volume early 19thC French travelling library - the ‘Bibliothèque Portative du Voyageur’ - house in a book-shaped box. #newacquisition (1/6)

[คิดอย่าง @arch_kidyang]

จินตนาการว่าถ้าศิลปะไทยดันเพดานไปไกลกว่าการฝึกตามขนบรูปแบบแต่ดึงAestheticความพลุ่งพล่านทรงพลังอย่างสกุลเชิงหวายแล้วเล่นต่อไปอีกจะเป็นอย่างไร

เราน่าจะได้เทียบกับหรือไปไกลกว่างานประติมากรรม "Ex Nihilo" ของ Frederick Hart ที่ปั้นไว้เมื่อ 44 ปีก่อน
