SOM#104, Elizabeth Gordon Chandler, Enrichment of the Visual Arts - Performing Arts, 1981
[b]From the collection of John Birks[/b]

[i]Numbers Issued:  750 Bronze[/i]

[b]FROM THE ARTIST[/b]

The greatness of any age is measured by the quality of its art and literature.  Two of the greatest periods in the recorded history of art were the Golden Age of Greece and the time of The Renaissance throughout Europe.

“Visual arts” combines these great ages – an early renaissance sculptor carves the Greek muse of painting.

A ballet theme was chosen for the reverse of the medal – bringing together, as it does, music and drama with the dance, it encompasses the full spectrum of the “Performing Arts”.
