11	Bronze-Age Crete and Art Nouveau: A Diachronic Dialog Hsu, Sheng-Chieh January 2017 (has links) This dissertation examines the relationship between Minoan art and Art Nouveau. The Minoan civilization was rediscovered at the turn of the twentieth century when the Art Nouveau movement reached its peak. Due to this coincidental timing, their artistic resemblance has raised questions about whether Minoan art had inspired Art Nouveau and whether Art Nouveau played a role in the restoration of Minoan art. The possibility of a Minoan influence on Art Nouveau is considered through a number of aspects, which include news reports on the excavations, Minoan collections acquired by museums, reference to the Minoans in various fields, application of Minoan motifs, and the attractiveness of the Minoans to Art Nouveau artists. As for the reversed influence, the research analyzes how archaeologists came to see the Minoans as a “modern” civilization, investigates the background of the restorers of Minoan objects, and provides examples of fresco restorations that illustrate an Art Nouveau preference of the early archaeologists and restorers. With the evidence and the discussion, I argue that the existing connection between Minoan art and Art Nouveau is beyond doubt. / Art History Art History Archaeology European Studies Art Nouveau Fin De Siècle Historiography Minoan Archaeology Minoan Art Minoans
12	Minoan trade: aspects and ambiguities Kieser, Deanne 31 March 2005 (has links) The following dissertation considers the main aspects of trade during each phase of Minoan development from its beginnings in Early Minoan times (3500 BC) until the end of Minoan period in 1430 BC. The work concentrates largely on the commodities exchanged, the development of transportation and perceived trade routes as well as the role of the palaces once they were established. The theories on the Minoan Thalassocracy and colonisation are also discussed. The evidence used is mainly archaeological, which is able to trace the movement of non-perishable materials such as pottery and metals. Reference is also made to contemporary Near Eastern texts and art, as well as the Minoan Linear A and Mycenaean Linear B documents. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.A. (Ancient History) Aegean Bronze Age Minoan Crete Cyclades Cyprus Egypt Greece Hagia Triada Keftiu Knossos Levant Linear A Linear B Mediterranean Mallia Neopalatial Palace administration Phaistos Prepalatial Protopalatial Thalassocracy Trade Uluburun Zakros 939.18 Bronze age -- Egypt Bronze age -- Greece -- Crete Minoans -- Greece -- Crete Civilization, Aegean Knossos (Extinct city) Crete (Greece) -- Antiquities
