_ Minoan art is featured _ at UW gallery Following his 20th century excavations at Knossos, Sir Arthur Evans used the term *"Minoan", after the mythical King Minos from the ancient Greek legend, to describe this art. Subâ€" sequent Cretan discoveries have shown a long and disâ€" tinct development quite separate from the betterâ€" known Mycenaenart of the Greek mainland. Minoan art can be divided into three In the Bronze Age in the Mediterranean area, a reâ€" markable civilization flourâ€" ished on the Island of Crete. Although the people of this area had contact with the Near East (Asia and Egypt) their art shows striking originality, and is considerâ€" ed to have contributed to the introductory period of early Greek art. Mr. Cameron has publishâ€" ed many articles on this stbject, and atâ€" present is preparing a lectureâ€"tour in the United States at the inâ€" vitation of the Archaeologiâ€" cal Institute of America. In the Gallery from March 10 to April 3, new restoraâ€" tion drawings of Minoan frescoes, photographs and motifs, diagrams and a model of a decorated room will be on display. These are the work of Mark Camâ€" eron, Associate Professor of the Department of Visual Arts, University of Western Ontario, who did postâ€"gradâ€" uate studies at the Univerâ€" sity of Athens and has done extensive archeological field work in Greece.
