Chassey

    0.01 sec.
Chassey 

a Neolithic archaeological culture (fourth and third millennia B.C.) in the southern part of central France. Named after the finds near the village of Chassey in the department of Saone-et-Loire, the Chassey culture was contemporaneous with the Lagozza culture of northwestern Italy and the Cortaillod culture of eastern France and Switzerland. It is characterized by implements made of small flint plates and by polished axes made of hard rocks. The pottery had simple shapes (plates, bowls, spherical vessels), mostly with rounded bottoms and with no decorations. Copper objects are rare. Initially the settlements were in caves and under the open sky. In the later stages, settlements built on high ground or on promontories and fortified with earthen banks and ditches appeared. Burials were in caves, dolmens, or cists.

Amassing a substantial collection of objects produced from 1945 to 1949, many from private collections and university museums, curators Eric de Chassey and Sylvie Ramond explored the ways in which European and American artists addressed the historical crisis that followed World War II by, in Barnett Newman's words, "starting from scratch, as if painting had never existed before" (hence the show's subtitle).
