	Tibetan art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tibetan art is first and foremost a form of sacred art, reflecting the over-riding influence of Tibetan Buddhism on these cultures.
		A common bodhisattva depicted in Tibetan art is the Gelugpa deity Chenrezig (Avalokitesvara), often portrayed as a thousand-armed saint with an eye in the middle of each hand, representing the all-seeing compassionate one who hears our requests.
		More specifically, Tibetan Buddhism is a subset of Tantric Buddhism, also known as Vajrayana Buddhism for its common motif of the vajra, the diamond thunderbolt (known in Tibetan as the dorje).

		An art car is a vehicle that has its appearance modified as an act of personal artistic expression.

	Fugue
		The final part of Schumann's Piano Quintet is a double fugue, and his opus numbers 126, 72 and 60 are all sets of fugues for the piano (opus 60 based on the BACH motif).
		Bach's most famous fugues are those for the harpsichord in The Well-Tempered Clavier and the (unfinished) Art of Fugue, and his organ fugues, which are usually preceded by a prelude or toccata.
		Bach was sufficiently expert that he could tell exactly what entrances could occur simply by hearing the first playing of a theme.

	The Art of Pharaoh Akhenaten's Reign
		Although the art style of Amarna eventually vanished after the reign of Akhenaten, it continued to influence Egyptian art far longer than his other reforms had influenced any other aspect of Egyptian culture.
		The family motif in Amarna is one of the most common.
		It would seem that the artists were attempting to portray people (Akhenaten in particular) with brutal honesty, to the extent that the images became caricatures.The master sculptor, Bek, claimed to have been taught by Akhenaten himself.

		Some art historians feel that later Greco-Roman depictions of Christ, particularly the Christ of the Passion, were influenced by Buddhist paintings and statues such as this.
		Many art historians, along with mythologist Joseph Campbell, believe Isis and Horus became the model for countless Christian depictions of the Madonna and child, just as Mary took on the titles once applied to Isis, such as Regina Coeli ("Queen of Heaven") and Stella Maris ("Star of the Sea").

	Hurstwic: Styles of Art in the Norse Era
		The "gripping beast" motif, first seen in pre-Norse art, is fully developed, and the designs are arranged in a carpet-pattern manner.
		Clearly, communications between the various parts of the Norse world was excellent, and new artistic styles were carried from place to place and were readily adopted.
		Instead, Norse art is characterized by extraordinary ornamentation of everyday objects.

	Islamic Geometric Art
		Symmetry, the series of ways in which a single motif can be repeated an exact number of times witin a circle is a fundamental principle of Islamic geometric art.
		Throughout history Islamic art in religious contexts has traditionally involved the creation of complex geometric designs which are said to create the impression of unending repetition and is believed to be associated with the infinite nature of God.
		The absence of figural imagery is typical of art associated with religious buildings and artefacts.

	Free Celtic Interlace Clip Art
		A recurring motif in early Saxon and Scandinavian art is the gripping beast, and bands of interlaced ornament are also frequently found in those parts.
		Interlace is one of the most identifiable aspects of Celtic art although it’s a relatively late addition to the repertoire of the Celts.
		Many young Saxons travelled to Ireland to be educated (the Welsh wouldn’t have them; in fact, the Welsh christians didn’t even want to convert them, since they’d then have to share their Heaven with the Saxons as well as their Earth).

	Celtic Art
		The art of using initial letters to summarize the content of a book receives expert attention, and so do unusual techniques such as the triquetra, a three-pointed knot formed from three intersecting arcs; the diaper, the art of repeating geometric patterns; and the pelta, an abstract Celtic motif built out of triangles.
		In this gorgeously-illustrated volume, she approaches Celtic art in terms of what it expresses about Celtic culture's spiritual beliefs and social organization.

	Kozmic Dreams Art Cars --- Home of the Music Machine
		Soon after, I transformed the car I was currently driving into an art car by spray-painting it with a fish motif.
		I was first inspired to create an art car in the mid-90's when I was enlightened by the film, “Wild Wheels”, a documentary about artists and their art cars.
		This page shows photographs of two of the three art cars I have created, the Kozmic Dream Machine and the Music Machine.

	Amazon.com: Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician: Books: Christoph Wolff
		Bach refused to divorce theory from practice, so his collections of music like the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Art of the Fugue served to show how a particular form of music (e.g., the keyboard or the fugue) could be applied in just about any combination imaginable.
		Wolff devotes a great deal of space to examining how Bach was viewed by his contemporaries, to whom, of course, the idea of a musician as an artist--as opposed to a sort of scientist of sound (there are valuable comparisons of Bach's achievement to that of his contemporary, Isaac Newton)--was quite foreign.
		Wolff has excavated contemporary documents, giving remarkable detail on Bach's earnings and on the disposition of his manuscripts after his death to the various members of his multitudinous family; also included are charming examples of the musician's youthful zeal, such as his journey, 250 miles on foot, to see and hear the admired organist/composer Buxtehude.

		MOTIF has an External Control function that lets you control outboard sequencers, such as Logic, directly from the front panel of the keyboard.
		MOTIF, I won't need to use the mouse so often to modify my mixer settings in Logic.
		We are thinking of putting together a smaller band for our next tour: 3 keyboardists (Michel, myself, and one other keyboardist), just one drummer, Gino and some other vocalists including a singer from the U.S. Because of this, we are looking for a device that can stretch loops in realtime on stage.

	Grotte Chauvet Archaeologically Dated - Main Page
		Herds are a popular motif of Magdalenian portable art.
		Whereas the red series has mainly parallels in Gravettian or Early Solutrean art, the black series corresponds in many details with the cave and portable art of Early and to a less degree of Middle Magdalenian, even if there is also a great number of special features not known in other caves up to now.
		Its occurrence in cave art is therefore a very important hint to the age of the paintings.

	cityofsound: Art Archives
		If speed was the defining motif of art in the early 20thC, perhaps collage is the defining form of art, or cultural organisation for the latter half and beyond.
		If you read art history up until 25 or 30 years ago, you'd find there was this supposition of succession: from Verrocchio, through Giotto, Primaticcio, Titian, and so on, as if a crown passes down through the generations.
		Much of the 20th century's art and culture could be seen as tending towards collage in form (e.g.

	Grabados
		The Irish specialist Elizabeth Shee, maybe the most renowned world authority in megalithic art, has baptised this motif as "the thing", in her prodigious work "Megalithic Art of Western Europe" (1981).
		In the dolmen of Mota Grade in Verea (Ourense), which is hidden at present, it was found in the second orthostat by the left an interesting engraving with a form that vaguely remembers a bell with two oval shaped zones in its centre that look like a high relief.
		Also in many of the Galician megalithic constructions are found cup-shaped carvings.

	Japanese art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The performing arts, however, were generally held in less esteem, and the purported immorality of actresses of the early Kabuki theater caused the Tokugawa government to bar women from the stage; female roles in Kabuki and Noh thereafter were played by men.
		The earliest complex art in Japan was produced in the 7th and 8th centuries AD in connection with Buddhism.
		Odd numbers replace even numbers in the regularity of a Chinese master pattern, and a pull to one side allows a motif to turn the corner of a three-dimensional object, thus giving continuity and motion that is lacking in a static frontal design.

	The Influence of Iranian Art on the West
		The lion with a raised paw was to become a standard motif of archaic Greek imagery; we see it on a Kantharos in the National Museum of Athens; with its head and jaws edged with a thin, pole line, it may almost pass for a copy of the lion on the Sialk vase.
		When at the beginning of the proto-Corinthian period a painter depicts two stags fighting, this scene, has obvious affinities with the art of Sialk in which the theme of fighting or confronted animals was often used.

	Schnittke
		The ‘BACH’ motif, used by J.S.Bach as a subject in the final unfinished fugue of his ‘Art of the Fugue’, became a sort of obsession in music of both 19th and 20th centuries for composers such as Schumann, Liszt, Reger, Piston, Casella, Busoni, Honneger, Schoenberg, Webern, Paert, Denisov, and many others.
		The third is the antithesis of the first two: it is a positive, harmonious ideal taken from a past culture (a chorale harmonisation of the ‘BACH’ motif in the piano part, and the separate tonal chords).
		In the Andante episode (c.30-31) the ‘BACH’ motif is harmonised in the Romantic style of ‘Les Preludes’ by Liszt.

	Tamil Art & Architecture - T.V.Mahalingam
		The Tamil country has been, throughout the successive historical periods, the meeting ground of many an artistic motif, design and norm, so much so that in her sculptural and architectural contributions the harmonious blending of diverse regional idioms are manifestly evident.
		This is the period which witnessed the highest water mark in the art of bronze casting, and in the light of recent and penetrating studies it is possible to discern different phases in sequence in the development of the art.
		A few scholars tend to believe that the art of bronze casting was either unknown to the Pallavas or at least had not attained great heights under them and that for all practical purposes the history of the art of bronzes in Tamil Nad begins with the Colas.
