Mastering the Masters: The Classical Tradition.
Weatherspoon Art Museum. Corner of Spring

Classicism are terms used in art history to describe a

refer specifically to the artistic traditions of ancient
Greece and Rome or have broader connotations and
denote the influence of these early civilizations on
subsequent periods of art. It is this latter meaning
which is explored in this focused exhibition drawn
from the museum’s permanent collection. As visitors
to the exhibition will see, the approach has offered an
almost endless variety of models and ideas to artists
of all ages. Free. For more information call 334-5770 or
