lay

Examples of lay in the following topics:

• The Romanesque Period

  • Indeed, it is often these that have survived when cathedrals and city churches have been rebuilt, and no Romanesque royal palace has really survived.The lay artist was becoming a valued figure; Nicholas of Verdun seems to have been known across the continent.
  • Most masons and goldsmiths were now lay professionals rather than monastic clergy, and lay painters like Master Hugo seem to have been the majority, at least of those doing the best work, by the end of the period.

• Temple Style of the North

  • The innermost heart of this type of temple is a sanctum where a deity (usually cast in fixed stone) is present, followed by a large hall where lay worshipers can stand and obtain "Darśana," or divine audience.

• Pre-European Hawaiian Art

  • Cultural anthropologists over the course of the 20th century identified techniques in the creation of kapa that are unique to the Hawaiian Islands, involving soaking the bark in water, laying it out on a stone tablet, and beating it with a rounded beater.

• Jackson Pollock and Action Painting

  • The painter would sometimes let the paint drip onto the canvas while rhythmically dancing or even while standing on top of the unstretched canvas laying on the floor—both techniques invented by one of the most important abstract expressionists: Jackson Pollock.

• Woodblock

  • This method is achieved by laying the paper or fabric on a flat surface, placing the block on top, and pressing or hammering the back of the block.

• Ostia

  • Today, due to the silting of the river, the remains of Ostia lay about 3 km from the sea.

• Sculpture

  • Small carvings, intended for a lay and often female market, became a considerable industry in Paris and some other centers.

• Tutankhamun and Ramses II

  • In the years that followed, huts for workers were built over the tomb entrance, the builders clearly not aware of what lay beneath.

• Northern Style Temples in Southeast Asia

  • The innermost heart of this type of temple is a sanctum where a deity (usually cast in fixed stone) is present, followed by a large hall where lay worshipers can stand and obtain "Darśana," or divine audience.

• Pottery in the Greek Geometric Period

  • These scenes relate to the funerary aspect of the pot and may depict mourners, a prothesis (a ritual of laying the body out and mourning), or even funerary games and processions.
