Basilica-



The Methodist church on Broad St. also has an inspired architectural design from a basilica cathedral design. Whereas a basilica would have a longer hall, the methodist church is more square but still has the cross shape implemented in the design and structure of the building, along with beautiful rose windows.

Gerhard Marcks

German, 1889 – 1981

Bronze

This is a bronze statue by German artist, Gerhard Marcks created in 1949. It is currently located at the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio. He was inspired by Archaic Greek style’s use of subtle attraction. He focused on the form and basic structure and took away distinct detail. In this piece, the figure has smooth and basic detail as shown in the face. She has the basic facial features such as her almond shaped eyes. This is an example of contrapposto statue in that her weight is all in her right leg, while the left leg is relaxed, and her upper body is titled to the right to balance the weight out. Her right hand is lightly placed on her hip while the left arm balances her weight.

Ionic Column

This is an entrance to the First Church of Christ Scientist building on E Broad St in Columbus, OH. The front of this building incorporates ionic columns in its architecture. These columns are easily identifiable as ionic because they contain a base at the end of the shaft, and the capital is decorated with volutes or scrolls at the top. Doric columns are more simply designed as they don’t contain bases or décor incorporated in a capital.
