What was Cycladic flora and fauna like 5,000 years ago? What were the nuclei of Cycladic society? How was Cycladic society stratified? How did the islanders subsist? (farming, animal husbandry, hunting, fishing, farming?) Did the islanders practice shipbuilding, weaving, and basketry? What were their forms of entertainment? What role did music, drink, and dance play in their lives? What were their rituals and cults? What do we know about their religious beliefs? __________ Cycladic figurines, in their present form, with their simple shape and clean outline, became popular through their association with abstract art by 20th-century artists like Modigliani, Brancusi, Matisse, and Picasso. Viewed primarily as works of art, they were often presented in a strictly typological manner, without reference to their creators’ cultural sphere.  explore {cycladic.gr/en/page/kikladiki-kinonia}

Happy #internationalmuseumday from these little ones located in all shorts of parts of the world! I have been very lucky to locate them in many museums up to now, including The Museum of Cycladic Art, Larissa Archaeological Museum, National Archaeological Museum of Athens, British Museum, The Ashmolean Museum, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art! They are very well travelled, those figurines:) . . . . . . . . . . . #museumlover #museum #cycladiccivilization #cycladicfigurine #archaeologymuseum #archaeology #prehistory #aegean #prehistoricart #artefacts #archaeologist #travelgram #photooninstagram #photooftheday #archaeological #αρχαιολογία #κυκλάδες #athensmuseum #britishmuseum #metropolitanmuseumofart #met #prehistoric #prehistoria #museo #art #arte #artefact (at Everywhere) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdtNXhJIWu3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
