Book Synopsis The Traditional Crafts of Egypt by : Menha el-Batraoui
Download or read book The Traditional Crafts of Egypt written by Menha el-Batraoui and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many traditional crafts practiced in contemporary Egypt can be traced back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Scenes inscribed on the walls of ancient temples and tombs depict the earliest Egyptians making pottery and papyrus and working with stone, wood, and other materials. The eleven chapters of this volume explore these and other crafts that continue to flourish in Egypt. From copper and glass works to jewelry, woodwork, and hand-woven carpets and fabric, each chapter offers an in-depth look at one material or craft and the artisans who keep its traditions alive. The authors, drawing on historical sources and documentary research, sketch the evolution of each craft, looking into its origins, the development of tools and methods used in the craft, and the diverse influences that have shaped the form and function of craft items produced today, ranging widely through the pharaonic, Coptic, Islamic, and modern periods. This historical examination is complemented by extensive field research and interviews with craftsmen and women, which serve to set these crafts into a living cultural context and offer a window into the modern craft economy, the lives of craftspeople, and the local communities and traditions they express and sustain. The volume is amply illustrated with vivid photographs of contemporary craft items and artisans at work, from the coastal town of Damietta to the far-flung deserts and the ancient alleyways of Cairo. It is a narrative and visual tour that provides valuable insight into contemporary Egypt as seen through its material culture and the legions of unsung artists who nourish and enrich it.

Book Synopsis The Arts of Making in Ancient Egypt by : Gianluca Miniaci
Download or read book The Arts of Making in Ancient Egypt written by Gianluca Miniaci and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an innovative analysis of the conditions of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship in the light of the archaeology of production, linguistic analysis, visual representation and ethnographic research. During the past decades, the "imaginative" figure of ancient Egyptian material producers has moved from "workers" to "artisans" and, most recently, to "artists". In a search for a fuller understanding of the pragmatics of material production in past societies, and moving away from a series of modern preconceptions, this volume aims to analyse the mechanisms of material production in Egypt during the Middle Bronze Age (2000-1550 BC), to approach the profile of ancient Egyptian craftsmen through their own words, images and artefacts, and to trace possible modes of circulation of ideas among craftsmen in material production. The studies in the volume address the mechanisms of ancient production in Middle Bronze Age Egypt, the circulation of ideas among craftsmen, and the profiles of the people involved, based on the material traces, including depictions and writings, the ancient craftsmen themselves left and produced.

Book Synopsis The Arts Crafts of Ancient Egypt by : W. M. Flinders Petrie
Download or read book The Arts Crafts of Ancient Egypt written by W. M. Flinders Petrie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts Crafts of Ancient Egypt This present handbook is intended to aid in the understanding of Egyptian art, and the illustrations and descriptions are selected for that purpose only. The history of the art would require a far greater range of examples, in order to illustrate the growth and decay of each of the great periods; whereas here only the most striking works of each period are shown, in order to contrast the different civilisations. The origins and connections of the art in each age are scarcely touched, and the technical details are only such as are needed to see the conditions of the art. The archaeology of the subject would need as wide a treatment as the history, and these subjects can only appear here incidentally. It should be noticed that the divisions of artistic periods are often not the same as those of political history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This present handbook is intended to aid in the understanding of Egyptian art, and the illustrations and descriptions are selected for that purpose only. The history of the art would require a far greater range of examples, in order to illustrate the growth and decay of each of the great periods; whereas here only the most striking works of each period are shown, in order to contrast the different civilisations. The origins and connections of the art in each age are scarcely touched, and the technical details are only such as are needed to see the conditions of the art. The archaeology of the subject would need as wide a treatment as the history, and these subjects can only appear here incidentally. It should be noticed that the divisions of artistic periods are often not the same as those of political history. Politically, the history divides at the XVIIth dynasty with the fall of the Hyksos, and at the XXIInd dynasty with the rise of the Delta government. But artistically the changes are under Tahutmes I, when Syrian influences broke in, and under the XXVIth dynasty, when the classical Greeks began to dominate the art.

This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great artifacts of Ancient Egypt owe much to the fertile banks of the Nile & the harsh African sunlight. The cool, windowless interiors of the great buildings of the Valley of the Kings, of Gizeh & Abu Simbel, provided broad surfaces to be inscribed with the hieroglyphics & illustrations that we recognize as Egyptian art. The religions of the river valley & the lives of the pharaohs furnished artists & craftsmen with ample themes. This richly illustrated book, first published in 1909, traces the artistic practices of the great dynasties through the statuary, paintings, reliefs, pottery & jewelry that have endured to the present day.
