The Journey of the Sun God Re / 0.0.1

Artist: Egyptian Medium: Plastered and painted wood. Where: detail from the inner coffin of Nespawershefi... Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England When: third intermediate period, 990-969 BCE. Size: n/a The Egyptian who in the 10th century decorated the wooden coffin of Nespawershefi with a painting of the sun god Re had a quite different idea of rivers. For ancient Eyptians, rivers were important survival, because they depended on the flooding of the River Nile to grow their crops. Rivers also had significance. Egyptians believed during the daytime Re sailed across a great celestial ocean in his sailboat. By night, the sun god traveled in his evening boat along a river in the underworld, but before he could rise again he had to defeat his enemy the serpent Apophis, can be seen swimming in the river.The river is again suggested rather than being realistically portrayed. the choice of this subject was appropriate for a coffin: no doubt Nespawershefi hoped to emerge from the underworld to live a happy afterlife. For the painter of this coffin, art was way to express profound religious ideas to and to invoke beliefs in a happy life after death.

Old man's cloth / 0.0.6

Artist: El Anatsui Medium: Aluminum and cooper wire. Where: n/a When: 2002. Size: 15'9" X 17' 3/4" Art historians now recognize that art is part of a wider context of things we experience: the visual culture in which we live which includes all of the images that we encounter in our lives. The contemporary artist El Anatsui (born 1944) makes artworks that reference the colonial history of Africa and the impact of modern consumerism on cultural values. Old man's cloth is made from discarded liquor bottle tops as his material because European traders bartered alcohol for African goods. Slaves were shipped from Ghana to the sugar plantations of the Caribbean then in turn was shipped from there back to Africa. El anatsuis bottle tops thus remind us of the slave trade as well as highlighting the way in which modern consumerism discards waste. At the same time, the artist's use of traditional designs suggests both the enduring power and the fragility of Ghanian culture.
