Statement:

The use of botanical imagery in painting proliferated especially in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as artists became increasingly interested in the realistic depiction of objects from the natural world; the purpose of this imagery was often, however, twofold.

Study Figure F,G,H, and J in Addendum A and answer the questions that follow.

Statement:

“We are in an era beyond technological advancement and artists go back to thinking about the human body as an ideal means of expression.  The concept of the body is vast; it is not only a picture, it comprises soul and thoughts, it reflects the world, it relates to others, while others are bodies themselves. Everything that exists in this world is related to the body and taken as such, the body reflects the social, political, economical as well as artistic state of affairs in the country.”

-        Mohamed Talaat, director of the Palace of Arts (Egypt)
