SUMMARY:George Batzanopoulos\, "John Craxton: Painting the Land of the Apollonian and the Dionysian"
DESCRIPTION:BSA Friends Greece lecture\nGeorge Batzanopoulos (John Craxton Estate)\, “John Craxton: Painting the Land of the Apollonian and the Dionysian”\nAbstract: This lecture presents the main findings of George Batzanopoulos’ undergraduate dissertation\, John Craxton: Painting the Land of the Apollonian and the Dionysian\, completed at The Courtauld Institute of Art. The research examines how the British painter John Craxton interpreted Greece through a visual language of contrasts\, focusing on the interplay between light and darkness and between linearity and angularity in his paintings. These visual oppositions are interpreted through the Nietzschean schema of the Apollonian and the Dionysian in order to articulate Craxton’s portrayal of Hellenicity. Drawing on close visual analysis of key works from Craxton’s Greek period\, the talk explores how the artist translated the Greek landscape\, climate\, and everyday life into a pictorial system of polarities. Particular attention is given to the role of light\, line\, and colour in shaping Craxton’s vision of Greece\, as well as to how his position as an English ‘outsider’ allowed him to perceive Hellenicity as a dynamic balance between order and spontaneity. The lecture will also reflect on new perspectives that emerged from archival research and discussions with figures closely connected to the artist\, offering fresh insights into Craxton’s artistic identity and his enduring relationship with Greece. \nThe lecture will be introduced by Ian Collins. \nBio: George Batzanopoulos is an art historian\, specialising in twentieth-century Greek and European painting. He recently completed his BA in History of Art at The Courtauld Institute of Art\, where his dissertation\, John Craxton: Painting the Land of the Apollonian and the Dionysian\, — the first academic paper on the artist — examined Craxton’s portrayal of Hellenicity and illuminated uncovered aspects of his oeuvre. Batzanopoulos currently works as an assistant curator at the Athens War Museum and as an archivist at the John Craxton Estate. \nimage: John Craxton\, Two Figures and Setting Sun\, 1952– 67\, oil on canvas\, 122 × 244 cm\, Private Collection. © DACS/ John Craxton Estate.

Diplomatic relations between the two realms are examined with particular attention to the city called Wilusa by the Hittites.

SUMMARY:Robin Barber & Tony Spawforth: Instruction in an Antique Land: The First Taught Courses at the BSA\, 1973-1989
DESCRIPTION:  \nNo formal courses were taught at the BSA before 1973\, the year of the first annual undergraduate programme. This was the brainchild of the then Assistant Director\, Robin Barber\, and helped to inspire a second\, this time for UK school teachers in Ancient History\, established in 1979. Both initiatives occurred under the directorship of Dr Hector Catling\, who personally led the first six schoolteachers’ courses. The speakers will discuss the early history of these two courses (others—on epigraphy\, numismatics and pottery—have been established more recently)\, including the organisation and itineraries\, which frequently involved unforeseen and sometimes hilarious episodes. \nRobin Barber was Assistant Director of the BSA from 1972 to 1976 and subsequently taught Classical Archaeology at Edinburgh University. He is author of The Cyclades in the Bronze Age and edited several Greek volumes in the Blue Guide series. He was invested with an honorary doctorate by the University of Athens in 2012. \nTony Spawforth (professor emeritus of Ancient History\, Newcastle University) was Assistant Director of the BSA but one after Robin Barber\, from 1979 to 1981\, and contributed to both courses for over a decade. His new book\, The Story of Greece and Rome (Yale\, 2018)\, will appear in paperback early in 2020.
