This exhibition celebrates the much-admired works of art created during the third millennium B.C. by craftsmen of the Cycladic islands of the Aegean Sea. Early Cycladic objects, once viewed as archaeological curiosities, are today a source of widespread fascination and appeal. Their simple lines and spare elegance inspired such modern artists as Brancusi, Modigliani, and Picasso. Knowledge of Cycladic civilization has been fathomed through its artifacts, since there was no written language to help archaeologists. Curator Dr. Pat Getz-Gentle, an author and scholar who has devoted her professional life to the field, has written the essay for the comprehensive catalogue in which she puts forth the latest findings and her own theories on Early Cycladic culture.

本次展览旨在纪念公元前三千年由爱琴海基克拉迪群岛的工匠创作的备受推崇的艺术作品。早期基克拉泽斯的物品，曾经被视为考古奇珍异宝，如今已成为广泛魅力和吸引力的源泉。他们简单的线条和朴素的优雅激发了布朗库西、莫迪利亚尼和毕加索等现代艺术家的灵感。基克拉泽斯文明的知识是通过其文物来理解的，因为没有书面语言可以帮助考古学家。策展人 Pat Getz-Gentle 博士是一位作家和学者，她的职业生涯都致力于该领域，她为综合目录撰写了这篇文章，其中她提出了关于早期基克拉泽斯文化的最新发现和她自己的理论。
