Artwork: Cycladic Artwork on the Metropolitan Museum
After years of associates asking for guided excursions, I’ve perfected a deranged, 20-minute dash by means of the Met galleries. However the newish show of Early Bronze Age figures from the islands off mainland Greece require extra pause. You’ll by no means notice how “historic” our trendy aesthetics are — or how “trendy” our ancestors had been — till you gaze upon these statues.
