Advanced Member The Candy-floss Kid Posted December 11, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I thought it might be fun to start a thread where we each post images of 3D Forms that we have found recently and find inspiring. Mine: two ceramic artifacts from Ancient Iran. Even on site you can imagine how pleasing these would feel to your touch. They amazed me. Timeless. 1,Zoomorphic Vessel (Fallow Deer),1350-1000 B.C.,Northern Iran 2, Bull, Iran, 1350-800 B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted December 11, 2012 Contributor Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 They look as thought they were intended for pouring small quantities of liquid. Quite exquisite! If they were in Timbuktu they would be destroyed as idolatrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member The Candy-floss Kid Posted December 12, 2012 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 The thought occurs to me that they may have been brand packaging for bubble bath and history has merely removed the label. Perhaps they are the Alessi design products of their day - they have that same playful quality with form and function. Glad you like them too Tony. Please folks do add your likes here too. It may make for an uplifting thread and we the ascending spiders of joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member spacepainter Posted December 13, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I found this styleperiod which is the oldest known potteryperiod in all history I guess: Jomon. Really makes me feel like having excavated something! Goes back more than 10000 years Aaaaah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member michalis Posted December 13, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 WOW spacepainter. This I didn't know. So old then... Older than egyptian and mesopotamian civilizations. Now, let me troll a bit. Souvlaki, best food in china. Today. Greece prevails. LOL http://www.bestfoodi...na.net/node/470 Oh my. And something on topic. Found in the palace at Mycenae. c. 1400-1200. Ivory, 2 ½ inches high 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member spacepainter Posted December 13, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Incipient Jōmon (14,000–7,500 BC http://en.wikipedia....C5%8Dmon_period Loving it, did a pot recently in clay because of that feeling! It's all so playfully sculpted. Another example of Jomon: How did it survive all these centuries? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nevermind the centuries, it's all in the millennia! It's mind boggling how it did last for so long. The pieces from that period are always so intricately detailed. Simply beautiful art. I am partial to the Assyrian statues, with those mighty beards. I'll post a couple when I have time to search for one. BTW, awesome thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted December 13, 2012 Contributor Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The Jomon artifacts are so elaborate, they must have evolved from earlier, simpler work. The ivory from Mycenae is another example of the naturalistic work depicted in the murals of women dancing with bulls. A shame that their female dress didn't survive.

Advanced Member spacepainter Posted December 14, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 A vase from Thebes, Mycenaean period, 13th century BC. Funny, also the coils. It must have come from outta space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member The Candy-floss Kid Posted December 14, 2012 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Such fabulous posts. A further two ‘Madonna Ouvrante’ with Holy Trinity Inside, French c. 1400 Madonna of the rosary“ by Tilman Riemenschneider (1460 – 1531) Carved in limewood in the late Gothic style. Location: Pilgrimage church Mary in the vineyard“ in the Bavarian, town of Volkach . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted December 14, 2012 Contributor Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 One thing that makes these objets d'art priceless is the absence in the modern world of the skills and the time available for their production. I saw an octagonal table top composed of polished stones in a photo-real depiction of decorative elements like oak leaves and conch shells, etc, that took 20 men 17 years to complete. It was done in the 16th century, a far more leisurely time. Our time is more suited to fabulous feats of engineering (and software, of course).

Advanced Member The Candy-floss Kid Posted December 22, 2012 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 2d forms are more inspiring than 3d forms. http://artloverrr.tu...age/12434734160 But a whole lot less inspiring in bed methinks. This time 3D caricature by Honore Daumier - artist in the employ of Pixar :-) Perhaps less people know Daumier for his 3D.

Advanced Member michalis Posted December 22, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Thank you Daumier is a great great, and most importantly, favorite to me artist. As Giacometti is. Pity you don't like this artist. The true space man.... Truth is much more than imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member michalis Posted December 24, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Daumier and Giacometti have something common. They very well understand what Scale means. Inspiring works... May I? LOL 10 mins doodling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
