CYPRUS: Before The Bronze Age: Art of the Chalcolithic Period, J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, 1990
44 pages
Through the efforts of Doctor Vassos Karageorghis, Director of the Cyprus Department of Antiquities for over a quarter century until 1989, Cypriot art and archeology have achieved international recognition. Symposia and loan exhibitions from Cyprus have given a clearer and more detailed picture of the history of the island to an even wider audience. This exhibitions offers Americans a rare chance to see examples of the art of pre-historic Cyprus. The small and beautiful modeled figures of highly polished picrolite and other important archeological material help to explain one of the least understood periods of Cypriot pre-history, the Chalcolithic. |
