World War I: War of Images, Images of War

Through April 19, 2015 | The Getty Center
In the first war fought by a generation of modern artists, culture was an integral part of the conflict, with sketchbooks and magazine covers forming a parallel series of battlefields to the Western and Eastern Fronts.

Dance of the Maize God

Video of Febraury 1, 2015, Film Screening and Discussion
While thousands of Maya vases have flooded into public and private collections over the last 50 years, the race to obtain them has destroyed ancient temples. The documentary Dance of the Maize God (2014, 96 min.) explores Maya life and mythology, as well as the issues involved in the collection and study of looted art. This event was related to the GRI's 2014/2015 Scholar Year theme, Object—Value—Canon, and was made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
