“Brand New: Art and Commodity in the 1980s” explores how a group of downtown New York City artists like Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Richard Prince, Peter Halley and Jenny Holzer blurred the lines between art, entertainment, and commerce.
Cavalry Horse ―In the pits, each cavalry horse is paired with an armored cavalryman.
This earthenware example is meticulously detailed to include tacks, tassels, girth straps, buckles, and a blanket, and its bridle components and reins are detachable pieces made of bronze or carved stone.
Terracotta horses were assembled from the legs up, and the large hole in this example's abdomen provided ventilation while it was fired in a massive imperial kiln.
Cavalryman ―This earthenware cavalryman figure is portrayed with a small and sturdy build, wearing a pleated robe, trousers, a hide skull cap, and high-waisted, sleeveless armor.
Cavalrymen were tasked with reconnaissance and both short- and long-range combat on horseback; therefore, their robes and armor were short and fitted to allow for extensive movement, pivoting, and versatility.
With both arms at his sides, he once held a crossbow and the reins of his terracotta horse.

“Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die”

“I wonder if the snow *loves* the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again’.”
“...It’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.” ―Andrea Gibson

“At first people ate simply because they were alive and because food was tasty. Modern people have come to think that if they do not prepare food with elaborate seasonings, the meal will be tasteless. If you do not try to make food delicious, you will find that nature has made it so.” ―Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution
Pentagonal ―This pipe, with a flat base and triangular top, bore the pressure of heavy soil when placed deep underground. Pipers like this may have also served as hollow bricks for palace structures.
Cylindrical ―The mausoleum complex's drainage system was well planned and constructed according to the area's natural geographic conditions, with higher level land in the SE and lower level land in the NW.
This round water pipe with different dimensions at each end was designed to fit tightly into another. Architects used hydraulic engineering skills to lay out the sewer system, which not only served palace buildings but also protected underground burial chambers from flooding.
“Nighthawks is a 1942 oil on canvas painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people in a downtown diner late at night. It has been described as Hopper's best known work and is one of the most recognizable paintings in American art.”

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore―
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door―
Only this and nothing more.”
―Edgar Allan Poe
“Man is a mystery. It needs to be unraveled, and if you spend your whole life unraveling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.” ―Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The staggeringly well peserved Conwy Castle was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1287. UNESCO considers Conwy to be one of "the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th century military architecture in Europe" and it is classed as a World Heritage Site.
