Coloring the Past: An Interview with Vinzenz Brinkmann and Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann

Vinzenz Brinkmann and Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann visited the Legion of Honor to examine the museum’s collection of antiquities for Gods in Color: Polychromy in the Ancient World, which was co-curated by Vinzenz Brinkmann and Renée Dreyfus, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco’s Curator in Charge of Ancient Art and Interpretation. 在這個視頻中, the Brinkmanns discuss the experience of discovering signs of elaborate decoration on ancient white marble sculptures, and the challenge of perceiving a completely different view of art in the ancient world.
