"Flattened: A Journey through Time and Art" Step into a world where history, art, and warfare intertwine. From Vietnamese patriotism to ancient Greek mythology, the concept of being "flattened" takes on various forms across different eras and cultures. In the realm of war, we witness the resilience of nations in the face of adversity. The Vietnamese Patriotic Poster proudly displays their triumph over 4000 US planes shot down - a testament to their indomitable spirit. Meanwhile, the WWI Flechette Dart with its flattened top and pointed end reminds us of the deadly weapons used during that tumultuous time. Artistic expressions also capture this notion in captivating ways. The Vase with Flattened Body from Qing dynasty showcases exquisite craftsmanship while bearing marks from the Yongzheng reign (1723-1735). Its flattened form stands as a symbol of elegance frozen in time. The Torpedo Boat No 78 attacking HMS Active engraving transports us back to intense naval battles, highlighting how even mighty vessels can be brought low by strategic strikes. In contrast, Virginia springbeauty blooms delicately amidst nature's beauty but is easily trampled underfoot - an example of life's fragility when confronted with external forces. Portraits hold stories within them too; take for instance the Processional Portrait of Prince Bhawani Sing of Sitamau (1855), rendered in gouache and silver. It captures regal grandeur while hinting at hidden complexities lying beneath its surface. Ancient artifacts further enrich our understanding of "flattened. " The Death mask from Royal Tomb IV in Mycenae (c. 1580-1550 BC) crafted meticulously out of gold offers an eerie glimpse into past civilizations' beliefs surrounding death and afterlife. Sometimes tragedy strikes unexpectedly as seen in Alpinists surprised and wounded by an avalanche inside an alpine hut crushed by rocks (Colour Litho).
