Cradle of Civilization with American Woman is a 1982 painting by Malcolm Morley, inspired by the artist's visit to Greece that year.[1][2]
Backgroundedit
This canvas was executed during a period when Morley turned to new subjects, including mythology and the Classical Western world. It was joined in his output by other works with similar themes among which are Aegean Crime (1987),[3][2] and Black Rainbow Over Oedipus at Thebes (1988). One of the signature elements of these works is their depiction of Minoan figures.[4]
The work is included in the volume Post-Modernism: The New Classicsm in Art and Architecture, New York 1987, by Charles Jencks which helped to layout the visual art canon of the emergent Post-Modern school of visual aesthetics.[5]
