Abstract: Report on the conservation, restoration, and display of detached mural polychrome fragments from Teotihuacan, Mexico, a joint project of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia de Mexico.

Abstract: A study devoted to the gradual emergence of pictorial depth in Cimabue's paintings, and how it applies, together with other factors, to the understanding of their sequential chronology. The conclusions reached underscore the vast difference in Cimabue 's conservative art and the exceptional naturalism of the evolving Life of Saint Francis mural cycle lining the lower nave walls in the upper church of San Francesco at Assisi.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the relationship between art and architecture and analyze the necessity of the mural as an immanent element to communicate political decisions of the German Democratic Republic's government to the public by using architecture.
Abstract: The presented research focuses on the relationship between art and architecture. On the example of the mural Der Weg der Roten Fahne (The Path of the Red Flag) installed at the western facade of the Kulturpalast Dresden (Palace of Culture in Dresden) the author analyses the necessity of the mural as an immanent element to communicate political decisions of the German Democratic Republic's government to the public by using architecture. Up until now the mural reinforces the political value of the International Style building in function and shape and links its volume to the urban layout.
