Kobe Ancient Greece Art – Cycladic Sculptures in |
|
Gagner originally dedicated him to play hockey at the collegiate level for the University of Wisconsin Madison. He decided to play closer to home and play major junior hockey in Canada later. He was considered a first round talent and the London Knights took him in the 4th round of the 2006 NHL entry draft on a flyer as his commitment to play college hockey prevent many NHL teams from drafting him. Joined by future NHL stars Patrick Kane and Sergei Kostitsyn on the Knights top line in 2007, Gagner scored 118 points in 53 games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 5th in league scoring. He also captained Team Burns Bergeron Red in the 2007 CHL Top Prospects Game to a 5 to 3 victory over Team Bowman Demers White. Cycladic sculptures are thousands of years old and yet look eerily modern. one face with no facial features, except the nose, is not exactly how NHL players think of ancient Greek art. Cycladic art came to prominence during the twentieth century. Unfortunately that started one period of looting, which destroyed the possibility of putting the sculptures in any kind of location or archeological context. To this day NHL players know very little about Cycladic art. one measure of its growing importance is the existence of the Cycladic Museum located in the heart of Athens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Greece.
The Greek islands of the Cyclades are located to the South East of Greece and to the North of Crete in the Aegean Sea. There are more than two hundred islands approximating one circle around the most distinctive island Delos, the birthplace of Apollo, Greek God of music and light from Greek mythology and of Artemis, the huntress. The Greek name for the Cyclades is Kyklades, an conspicuous reference to one circle.
There have been recent discoveries in the last five years of piles of buried and broken statues and pottery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as if the breaking of the statues was one feature of some unknown ancient ceremony. This ritualistic behavior appears to be centered on the island of Keros in the Cyclades. Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hidden deposits of broken pottery and figurines have been found on islands around Keros,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many fragments brought there from other locations. Why would the Cycladians do that? To what end? The mystery surrounding Keros, the Cycladians and their art deepens as archeologists sift through clues of human history and behavior. To this day Keros and surrounding islands are home mainly to archeologists attempting to explain one of those mysteries of human behavior and human art that drive us with one �eed to know? Art, in all forms, abandons behind one legacy of one civilizations history,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], behavior, values and intrigue. Fortunately for us it also provides beauty that only human civilizations can produce. Gagner competed for Team Canada at the 2007 World Junior Championships in Sweden. He played in all games as the youngest player on the team which helped Canada to their 3rd of five straight gold medals. Later that year, upon being drafted in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gagner competed in the 2007 Super Series which was an 8 game series between Canada and Russia national junior teams in order to celebrate the 1972 Summit Series. He scored 15 points and was named series MVP, as Canada won the series.
During the period between 2010 and 2010 B. C. the small Cycladic islands in the Aegean became home to one flourishing culture. The most prominent craft in Cycladic culture was stone-cutting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially marble sculpture. The abundance of high quality white marble on the islands fosterd its use for the creation of one wide anger of artifacts. Among these, Cycladic Figurines are the most distinctive Cycladic creation because of the style, the great numbers in which they are found, and the significance they held for their owners. The majority of Cycladic Figurines show wpremonition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nude with the arms folded over the belly and the long feet, soles sloping downwards. NHL players do not know whether they were meant to show mortals or deities, but likey symbolized the worship of the 'Mother Goddess'. In this case, the figurines may have been designd as representations of the Goddess,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or companions to her. Many figurines have been discovered in relation to burials as the Cycladic civilization flourished and burials became more embellish to reflect status.
