Why Go: One of the best collections of Cycladic art in the world

We Loved: Cycladic figurines and the audio-visual installation depicting life in Antiquity

The Museum of Cycladic Art showcases a fascinating collection gathered by the late shipping magnate Nicholas Goulandris and his wife Dolly. Expanding over four levels, the artworks give real insight into the ancient civilisations of the Cycladic Islands.

The remnants of these ancient societies from 3200-2000BC, gives telling information on how ancient Greeks lived and is brought to life with the permanent audio-visual installation called Scenes from Daily Life in Antiquity, a big hit with kids.

The real attractions of course are the Cycladic figurines found on the first floor. Their semi-abstract depictions of the human body inspired Cubist art and 20th century artists like Picasso and Brancusi.

GREECE IS ATHENS EXPERIENCE CULTURE

The Roots of the Cycladic Civilization

A leading Athens institution offers visitors insights into civilizations that thrived in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean for millennia.

Amanda Michalopoulou | July 11th, 2016

Every tourist anxious to rush through Athens and head to the Greek islands this summer should spend at least a few hours at the Museum of Cycladic Art. The visit will add depth, meaning and historical dimension to the usual routine of the holiday experience (sea – sun – horiatiki salad). On the four floors of that museum, we can all learn a lot, not only about the Cyclades and ancient art, but about ourselves.

Let me explain: In my teens, I liked to doodle, drawing meanders, rhombuses and concentric triangles on any scrap of paper lying around. This aniconic art helped me pass the time as I chatted to my friends on the phone or was bored with life in general; it was, in short, an activity that literally saved me during that period of dissatisfaction and ennui, and I rediscovered it on the second floor of the Museum of Cycladic Art, right there in the middle of the 10th century BC Attic wine jugs. The lines I had drawn for years, my idle doodles, were there, decorating ancient vessels. Like my adolescence, the 10th century BC was predominantly a dark period, as commercial trade fell off markedly, art became largely decorative and the dead were buried with nothing more than bronze clasps holding their garments and modest burial gifts at their sides.

As is the custom in life and in the passage of civilizations, after darkness comes light, and in the 9th century BC, society breathed once more:commerce picked up, ties were forged with the Phoenicians and the written word was reintroduced to the Aegean after a four-century hiatus. At the Museum of Cycladic Art, we witness these strides in history. The transitions are, if nothing else, comforting. All that ends, starts again, an incredibly encouraging thought during our current strange and dark period in Europe.

The Museum of Cycladic Art was founded 30 years ago, in 1986, by Dolly and Nikos Goulandris. It was a highly political initiative, a calculated response to the theft of antiquities that plagued the Cycladic islands in the 1950s and 60s.

“During the 50s and 60s, the characteristic Cycladic figurines (also known as “idols”) – with their sculpted nose, right arm crossed under the left, the slightly bent knee and elevated heels – were sources of inspiration for Western European avant-garde painters and sculptors.”

The elegant Stathatos Mansion, built in 1895 by architect Ernst Ziller for the Stathatos family of ship owners and national benefactors.

“Peddlers who had previously referred to these idols as “dolls” and who had given them to children as toys were suddenly being offered staggering amounts for their wares; a thousand drachmas per inch of statue!”

During the 50s and 60s, the characteristic Cycladic figurines (also known as “idols”) – with their sculpted nose, right arm crossed under the left, the slightly bent knee and elevated heels – were sources of inspiration for Western European avant-garde painters and sculptors. Constantin Brancusi, Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore and Amedeo Modigliani viewed the Cycladic figure as the paradigm of modernism and minimalism. Naturally, this led to an ever-increasing interest in Early Cycladic art and, of course, a booming market. Peddlers who had previously referred to these idols as “dolls” and who had given them to children as toys were suddenly being offered staggering amounts for their wares; a thousand drachmas per inch of statue! The illegal excavations that followed resulted in the coordinated destruction of the Cyclades: a total of around 1,600 figurines were unearthed.

If we consider that, on average, only one in 10 graves contained such items, we understand how many thousands of graves were pillaged during that time. Almost half the burial gifts were discovered in Kavos, on the uninhabited islet of Keros. Most were broken, and probably had been since ancient times. However, not all the idols were unearthed broken. Often, to hide them during transport, the smugglers themselves would break the figures into pieces and stash them in fruit crates! According to archaeologists, the spot on Keros may have been some kind of sanctuary, and it’s possible the statuary featured in some still unknown ritual.

Today, we may be in awe of the “Keros Hoard,” but the sight of an entire hillside literally razed by looters was a deeply disturbing one for the archaeologists who first encountered it in 1963. They knew that, even if the figurines were recovered, valuable information regarding their discovery and initial use had been lost. It was in the midst of this, in 1962, that Dolly and Nikos Goulandris were granted their collector’s license and beganrepatriating Cycladic idols in a bid to stem the illegal export of antiquities. Over time, they built the biggest collection in the world. Today, some of thestars of that collection – violin-shaped female figures with incised pubic triangles and lined abdomens – are showcased on the first floor.

Visitors will notice that not all of these idols look the same. Over time, some of the features evolved. Their heads became more almond-shaped, creases flanked their breasts and their legs were separated. Their form, however, remained largely unchanged over four whole centuries. Such marked conservatism is usually associated with religious art, so it’s possible the figures are of female deities that were worshipped in the Cyclades. If this hypothesis is true, then these women-violins are the first depictions of divine figures in Aegean art.

Pyxis with lid, 760-750 BC. Pyxes were initially used to hold cosmetics or jewelry. The Attic vessel is particularly ornate; its lid, shown here, is decorated with equine figures.

The exhibition on the fourth floor offers visitors a new perspective on daily life in ancient Athens.

The latest technology is used to showcase the exhibits to their fullest advantage.

“Here we observe, again and again, how societies, their activities, the rise and fall of every civilization, are all instrumental to shaping the craftsmanship of each period, influencing form, subject matter and utility.”

The second floor of the museum is dedicated to ancient Greek art, from themiddle and late Bronze Age to Classical times (480-323 BC), and theHellenistic and Roman eras through the 4th and 5th c. AD. Here we observe, again and again, how societies, their activities, the rise and fall of every civilization, are all instrumental to shaping the craftsmanship of each period, influencing form, subject matter and utility.

From the much sought-after clay jars created by the prehistoriccivilizations of Knossos and Mycenae to the more decorative art of those ancient Dark Ages, what is evident from all the finds displayed is thatprosperity brought a penchant for luxury, even when it came to mundane objects. In contrast, periods of poverty, organized migration (i.e., during the colonization of Southern Italy) and the decline of trade are reflected in pieces that are more formulaic and utilitarian.

In the Archaic period, city-states once more found themselves in a position to move forward and form the foundations of new institutions. They developed new laws, a system of writing, the concept of currency and armies of hoplites. At this point in history, we see the emergence of utilitarian art in war, such as the Corinthian helmet, worked from a single sheet of bronze. But war did not just mean new jobs in the ranks of the hoplites; it also meant violence and destruction. The casualties mounted, first from the Persian Wars and later from the wars between Athens and Sparta. Scenes of ceremonies in which the living usher the dead into the afterlife feature in funerary reliefs of this period.

The Cypriot collection is one of the biggest outside of Cyprus and includes exhibits from the 4th millennium BC to Medieval times.

In the 1st c. BC, glass became a star in its own right, thanks to technological advances that led to its mass production. It is also then, during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, that a centralized authority model gave an air of globalism to both social structures and art. Currency unions were established and Graeco-Roman traditions found themselves entangled with Oriental art. As a result, the earliest statues of Buddha clothe him in Greek robes!

The museum’s third floor, completed four years ago, was given over to theCypriot collector Thanos N. Zintilis so that he might display the most comprehensive collection of Cypriot art in the Hellenic world. The collection is a marvelous showcase highlighting the Hellenization of Cyprus by Greek settlers, who introduced both the Arcadian dialect and the paradigms of Aegean art to their new island home. Here, among other objects, we see the cross-shaped figures currently depicted on the €1 and €2 coins minted in Cyprus today. We also see a clay jug used to transport opium, the only pain killer available in ancient times. Here, too, is the splendid necklace from the tomb of Arsinoe – an exhibit item coveted by museums around the world – decorated with sapphires, emeralds and pearls, and showing clear Assyrian influences.

It’s not all ancient on the third floor – modern technology has been put to good use here, as there are two interactive stations where you can learn a great deal about the history and art of the Mediterranean.

The same is the case on the fourth floor, where 142 objects of ancient Greek art are used as educational material to create everyday scenes from daily life in ancient times: among the subjects are personal grooming habits, the marriage ritual, a regular day in the Agora, war and death.

To help visitors identify easily with the people of ancient Greece, the museum takes us through the life of Leon, a fictional character born in 458 BC. We follow him from his childhood home to the palaestra, the wrestling school, all the way to his grave. This is an excellent way to familiarize children with the cycle of life as well as with Greek history. However, this is also an opportunity for the entire family to explore its new-found knowledge.

TIPS!

Don’t miss the collection of children’s toys, such as the turtle rattle or the articulated dolls that heralded the modern marionette. Take a moment, too, to examine the black-glazed vessels and the impressive bronze basin with handles, probably used at symposiums for diners to wash their hands.

Look for the Corinthian plate with the caricature of a naked man, something exceptionally rare in the Classical period, as well as the small amphoraewith the cartoon-like drawings of swans, lion, geese and wild boar.

Last but not least, check out theMinoan bird’s-nest cup made of marble and the stirrup jar or “false-neck amphora” with the spout.

SHOP & ENJOY

The MCA shop, offering a wide selection of design objects and stylish accessories inspired by Cycladic art, is located on the ground floor of the Main Building, at 4 Neophytou Douka St.

It is open not only to museum visitors but to anyone interested in purchasing a gift or book.

Make sure to conclude your visit with a stop at the Museum’s cool Cycladic Café, where juices, snacks, wine and light dishes are served. Every Thursday and Friday, the café hosts two special gastronomic experiences, “Aegean Cheese and Wine” and “Aegean Taste”, in association with Trip2Taste.

GREECE IS ATHENS EXPERIENCE CULTURE

Modern Art from 5,200 Years Ago

An essential mini-guide to the treasures on show at the Museum of Cycladic Art

Sophia Stylianou | September 25th, 2015

VIOLIN-SHAPED FIGURINE (3200-2800 BC)

Violin-shaped figurines were the most common type of schematic representations of the human body in the Early Cycladic period and have been found in several variations. They are usually small in size, rarely exceeding 20 cm. in height (1st Floor, Cycladic Culture)

===

HEAD OF A FIGURINE (SPEDOS VARIETY) (2800-2300 BC)

This head is from a large Cycladic canonical figurine (Spedos variety). It is lyre-shaped with the forehead tilted back. The only prominent facial feature is the broad triangular nose. The figurine stands out for its simplicity, symmetry and abstraction, elements that made Cycladic art a source of inspiration for prominent 20th century artists such as Modigliani, Giacometti and Moore. (1st Floor, Cycladic Culture).

===

CUP BEARER (2800-2300 BC)

A rare type of seated figure and the only one of its kind found intact, it is believed to represent a male figure sitting on a stool, carved from a single piece of marble. The figure holds a cup in his right hand, as if ready to propose a toast or perform a libation. (1st Floor, Cycladic Culture).

===

CRUCIFORM FIGURINE (3900-2500 BC, FROM THE AREA OF PAPHOS)

A combination of two figures crossed at right angles. This type of “double” figurine is very rare in Cyprus and is believed to represent either a mother and child, a couple having intercourse or is perhaps an amulet with magical properties, possibly worn by someone wishing to have twins (3d Floor, Cypriot Culture).

===

TANAGRA FIGURINE (1ST CENTURY BC)

A female figurine with elaborate hairstyle and painted in bright colors, she is holding a fan and her weight is on her right foot. The trend among artists of the period to concentrate on rendering the inner psychological world of ordinary people, in conjunction with the generally improved social status of women in the Hellenistic period, ushered in a new ideal of female beauty which was more focused on sensuality (2nd Floor, Ancient Greek Art).

===

SPINDLE WITH ATTACHED WHORL (1900-1800 BC)

This is the only known metal spindle from the Cypriot Bronze Age. Amazingly, traces of organic fiber are preserved below the whorl, due to the oxidation of the metal. (3d Floor, Cypriot Culture)

===

FEMALE FIGURINE

Dating to the Early Cycladic I period, the figure belongs to the Plastiras type, named after the Plastiras cemetery in northern Paros. Characteristic is the conical cap with horizontal grooves.

===

SMALL MARBLE KRATER

The small krater (krateriskos) is the most prevalent type of marble container in the Early Cycladic I period (3200–2800 BC). The vessel’s popular name kandila, common among Cycladic villagers, stems from its resemblance to the kandiles (votive lamps) of Orthodox Christian churches.

===

VASE WITH DOVES

One of the most beautiful creations in ancient Cycladic art (Early Cycladic II). At the bottom of the large, circular plate are 16 carved birds, probably doves, a favorite Cycladic theme.

===

MARBLE PYXIS

A distinctive pyxis in the form of a pig, dating to the Early Cycladic I/II (3000–2400/2300 BC). Its elaborate design testifies to the Cycladic sculptors’ familiarity with marble and their ability to give such a hard material whatever shape they wished.

===

The influence of Cycladic art still resonates today. Scholars attribute this to itsanthropocentric character, as reflected in the perfection and proportion of form, the simplicity and the sense of austerity conveyed by the materials used. It is believed, in fact, to have inspired 20th century modern art.

***************************************************************

==========

The main building of the Museum of Cycladic Art, designed by the architect Ioannis Vikelas, was donated by the late Dolly Goulandris and the museum was founded in 1986. It initially housed the private collection of Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris and was gradually extended for the display of other valuable collections and donations.

Most of the 1,000 exhibits date from 3000 BC to the 4th century AD, and provide important evidence of the cultures that flourished in the Aegean.

“The museum strikes a balance between the permanent collections and the temporary exhibitions, with an enormous archaeological section, which forms the core of the museum’s holdings, but also works of Renaissance and modern art,” explains Professor Nicholas Stampolidis, the museum’s director and soul.

Introduction

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?

In 2016 the Museum of Cycladic Art celebrates 30 years of creative presence with an exhibition entitled “Cycladic Society 5000 years ago” open from early December 2016 to late March 2017.

Since no written documents of the Early Cycladic period survive, this exhibition attempts to “read” in a simple and straightforward manner the social structure, activities, living environment, and, where possible, convictions and beliefs of the Cycladic islanders in the Early Bronze Age (3,200-2,000 BC) through their creations.

Τhe exhibition is organized by the Museum of Cycladic Art in collaboration with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades and it houses 191 ancient artefacts:from its own collections, the Ephorate of Antiquities of Cyclades (98 artefacts come from the Museums of Naxos, Apeiranthos,

Syros and Paros) as well as the National Archaeological Museum and the Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Museum.

The exhibition is organized with the financial contribution of the Associated Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos Foundation.

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.

The exhibition “Cycladic Society 5,000 Years Ago” aims to fill that void and explore the daily life and undertakings of the Cycladic islanders 5,000 ago!

The exhibition is organized with the financial contribution of the Associated Paul and Alexandra Kanellopoulos Foundation.

Robert McCabe: Witness to a changing country

MARGARITA POURNARA

Robert McCabe - The acropolis in Lindos on the island of Rhodes in 1954

Photography, Exhibition

Robert McCabe has witnessed many of the changes that Greece has experienced over the past 60 years. The acclaimed American photographer first arrived in this country in the mid-1950s with a Rolleiflex hanging on a strap around his neck, on a 10-day trip that proved so instrumental that he still shares his time between New York, Athens and the Greek island of Patmos. His early shots of Greece provide an opportunity to assess the past and ponder where we are headed.

It comes as little surprise, therefore, that Museum of Cycladic Art director Nicholas Stampolidis decided to include a section on McCabe’s photographs in “Cycladic Society 5,000 Years Ago,” an exhibition which opened in early December. Where McCabe’s photographs fit into this narrative is to illustrate how life on the Greek islands in the 1950s and 60s was not that much different to the way it was thousands of years ago.

“When I first set foot in the Aegean in 1954 I found villages that had no electricity, running water, telecommunications or cars, while in many cases the only connection to the mainland by sea was with caiques,” says McCabe. “People lived in perfect harmony with the natural environment and were very conscious of resource management. Things changed dramatically with the advent of mass tourism.”

His section of the exhibition is titled “Memories and Monuments of the Aegean” and comprises two sections. The first depicts aspects of life in the Aegean in the 1950s and 60s, before the arrival of technology. The 40 images in this section cover four themes: celebrations, women’s occupations, men’s occupations and work at sea.

The second section features 33 photographs of seaside archaeological sites. The majority were taken in 1954-55, when these sites were little changed in regard to the descriptions provided by foreign travelers in the 19th century. Most of these spots are historically significant, some as sites of worship, others as commercial centers and others still for their strategic importance.

With his sensitive and discerning eye, McCabe has recorded unique scenes in which human labor and man’s coexistence with nature do indeed reflect a world that seems forever gone.

“Memories and Monuments of the Aegean” will remain on display through March 19 at 4 Neofytou Douka. For details, visit www.cycladic.gr.

EXHIBITION

8/12/2016 - 19/03/2017

Robert McCabe. Memories and monuments of the Aegean

An exhibition with works by Robert McCabe

Introduction

The Cycladic Art Museum presents, from December the 8th until March the 19th, the exhibition "Robert McCabe. Memories and monuments of the Aegean", in parallel with the exhibition "Cycladic Society 5000 years ago".

The exhibition of the renown photographer, includes two sections with a different theme, linked by the Greek seas and the critical role they played in human societies in the Aegean over the centuries. The first section illustrates important aspects of life in the Aegean in the 1950s and 60s. At that time, everyday life flowed without electricity, roads, motor vehicles, telephones, running water and ferries. The infrastructures that were available to people in the '60s, had little changed compared to 5000 years ago. The 40 photos in this section cover four broad themes: festivals, women’s occupations, men’s occupations and work at sea.

The second section, with 33 photos, presents some archaeological sites by the sea. Most were taken in 1954 and 1955, when these areas were little changed compared to the descriptions of travelers who visited Greece in the 19th century. Most of these sites have a long history, some as religious centers, others as commercial hubs and some for their strategic military importance.
