Wall, as an essential element in space design, not only serves as partition between human being and noisy outside, but the carrier of distinctive creations. Wall decoration, a special embodiment of designers unique life experience and aesthetic taste, has undergone great changes and evolved into diverse forms with the advancement of human civilization, for example, from the vivid picture created by our ancestors on the wall of the cave to the relieve fresco indicative of the endless desire for power, the Pompeii fresco featuring gorgeous colours and romantic sentiment in old Roman times to the modern ones full of personality.In addition, the materials used for wall decoration are diversified, from the crafted tapestry and ceramic tile in the past to wallpaper and paint prevalent in modern time, and also represent the special culture and custom of a certain country or religion. Take the wallpaper for an example. In German, it tends to be modern and simple in style; in UK, with profound neo-classical feature; in France and Italy, with romantic sentiment and of post-modernism; in America, of pure rural style.The book Wall Decoration is categorized into nine parts, Wall Paper, Wall Picture, Wall Painting, Wall Sticker, Paint, Wooden Decoration, Stone Decoration, Glass Decoration, and Mosaic, based on the different forms and materials in wall design.
TEMPLE DECORATION AND CULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE ARCHAIC GREEK WORLD: The Metopes of Selinus
Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007 Hardcover with dustjacket, 352 pages, 130 illustrations, 26 x 15.5 cm. ENG text fine! ISBN 9780521857970.
In this book, Clemente Marconi provides a new interpretation for the use of figural decoration in Greek temples of the archaic period, through a study of the archaic metopes of Selinus. The study of figural decoration on Greek temples has traditionally been identified with the broader study of architectural sculpture. At the same time, the original, articulated appearance of archaic temples has been fragmented into a discussion of individual types. Marconi argues against both the typological approach and the tendency to investigate style and iconography as two aspects unrelated to the cultural and social background within which temple decoration operated. He explores the relation between style and function and examines the function of figures on temples within the cultural and social context of the communities for which these images were created. Critical to this exploration are the reintegration of the figures into the fabric of buildings, the space of archaic sanctuaries and cities, and the ritual dimension that represented the context for the reception of the figural decoration of Greek temples.
