Born in 1760, Japans artist hokusai is tougt to av a as many as tirty iffrnt namsuring is liftim.

Hokusais first name change came from his master, when he was christened Shunr by hismaster. It was as Shunr that the artist published his first prints, a series depicting Kabukiactors prouc in 1779.

For the artist Pure Evil sort of started off as a joke when I was a kid I shot a rabbit, so thisrabbit caractr is sort of t vil I o. But its also about aving fun I ont rally

Tat is not to say tat os not apprciat rcognition: Pur evil as occasionally bncaught producing works, but has enjoyed the moments where members of the public haveacknowlg is practic. Onc you know its aving an ffct on otr popl an its gota bit of a following, its quit a plasurabl ting.

If the Louvre is responsible only for the transportation. Does this mean that there are no hiringfees for the exhibition?No, not for this show at the Louvre, but I cant conrm that its the same for other shows.

I imagine that the Israeli antiquities department will organise special events during the exhibi-tion, in order to raise funds from potential sponsors to nance the new museumA major vernissage was held with a delegate from the embassy and various sponsors, as the opera-tion was entirely nanced by private sponsors within the Louvre.

Why is this mosaic so important?It was iscovr uring an cavation prcing t construction of a igway in Tl Aviv an Jru-

salm. It is important for many rasons. First of all, bcaus rcnt iscovris ar vry rar, tnbcaus of t fact tat it is t largst Roman mosaic to b iscovr in Isral, an it is also t bstin trms of consrvation. An its sign is also rmarkabl.

Morovr, it is intrsting bcaus of t ancint contt of t city of Lo, wic was also known asLya. It is vry wll-known bcaus it is mntion in various tts, but it as allow fw arcao-logical opportunitis sinc it as bn constantly occupi. In fact, t mosaic rprsnts t mostimportant iscovry to b ma in Lya from t Roman ra (about 300 Ad). T city was founway bfor tat prio, but troug tts w av larnt tat it pass troug Roman larsipin 63-64 AD, and the conquest of Judea by Pompey. The city was then set on re during the Jewishrvolt tat occurr in 66 Ad, an was rviv by empror harian at t bginning of t 2n cn-tury. It tn bcam a Roman colony unr Sptimius Svrus btwn t 2n an 3r cnturis.

With regard to the lack of archaeological relics from the region: does this mosaic conrm or com-

plete the information found in texts?If w wr abl to say for sur tat Lya was t sit of important monumnts - lik otr Romancolonis - wit a forum, public builings, tmpls, tc. - wic w arnt yt sur oftis mosaic wasmost likly ma as a coration of a ous, so for privat us, an woul av bn st on toor. It gives key information about life in the city and the dcor of houses at that time. This type ofpavmnt is gnrally us in rooms link to watr, or wr larg quantitis of watr ar nfor claning. Mosaics ar usually foun in trma, in fountains, garns, or rcption alls in privatouss. T sign woul av corrspon wit t status of t ownr an t gusts, clints,tc. ty rciv.

Are there recurrent motifs in the mosaic that could indicate that craftsmen travelled though thedierent provinces of the Empire, with some sort of catalogues which owners could browse?Tr ar tms tat wr consir trns, an willif was amongst t most rprsnt t-me in mosaics, meaning that the work is not specic to the Middle East. There are lots of examples oftis willif trn in Nort Africa, or vn in Sicily an Italy. Tr ar gnrally unting scns witbot local an otic animals (lions an otr wil animals), wic ar foun in t east, namly inAntioc. Tis cas is cptional, sinc t sign is strictly bas on willif, witout any umanprsnc.

Anotr intrsting lmnt is tat, in t cntr of t pavmnt, tr is quit an cptionalrepresentation of exotic animals, such as rhinoceroses, elephants, lions and giraes. However, theseanimals wr not local in ts rgions, sinc ty wr from Africa. So i t signr of t mosaicrprouc a mol tat was acquaint wit? Or vn arr to prov: os tis man tat oticanimals wr snt to ampitatrs for cptional vnts in t big citis of t empir, wic wrorganised by a governor or a prominent gure in the region? Its very dicult to say.

Does style or portrayal of these animals on the mosaic give any clues about its origin?

T styl is vry clos to tat foun in worksops in t Mil east. In ts mosaics, a lot of mpa-sis is plac on anatomy, wit quit ralistic rprsntations. T sign is not only grapic, wic isa caractristic of t African traition, it also faturs saows, an quit ralistic rprsntationsof animal fur which give a moulded eect.

Anotr caractristic of works prouc in t rgion is t us of wit backgrouns, wic arquit abstract an nutral, witout any rprsntation of lanscap suc as tat foun in worksfrom Apama or Antioc.

Can the technique give us additional information?The tessellatum is quite ne, which suggests that the mosaic is of very good quality. Also, at thetim of rmoval arcaologists foun rafts of t prparatory rawings of crtain motifs, wicwr ma in r or yllow ocr.

Ts rawings wr vry common, sinc mosaic signrs n to bas tir work onsketches in order to nish the designs. However, they havent generally received that much at-

tntion, sinc ty wrnt consir to b important in t 19t cntury, or bginning of t20t cntury, wn a grat numbr of mosaics wr cavat.

Otr tracs of craftsmansip wr foun, suc as footprints an sanal marks. Its probably morancotal, but it maks iscovris mor livly an uman. Again, ts ar important tracs.

There are also boats and shes in the mosaic. Have the species been identied? Do they repre-sent imaginary animals?Yes, specialists have managed to identify dierent shes. As I was saying, the representationsare mostly based on nature, with real species (swordshes, dolphins, etc.), as well as realisticrprsntations of boats.

What about the owner of the house?W o not vnt know is nam! h must av bn rally ig in status to av a ous wit aoor like this. A rich owner, for sure, but we do not know if he held an ocial position. This roomwas t only on cavat, sinc t rst of t ous is covr by privat ouss an plots. Itwas locat bnat a roa, wic a a wakr founation tan a ous woul av.

It was tis wic lp to prsrv t mosaic.

Vlaimir Vlickovics touc as oftn bn compar to Francis Bacons. howvr, bsi t facttat nvr mt t Britis paintr wil prsnt is ibitions in Blgra in t 1950s,meaning that he was not inuenced by his style, there is a fundamental dierence between the twoartists. Bacon portrayed violence and internal, intimate torments, while Velickovic explores sue-ring in t worl. dstruction, atrocity, vastation, tortur: tat is wat is country princ,an tat is wat forc im to lav Yugoslavia for Paris in 1967. Tat momnt was vn mordicult for the rootless Serbian. Since then, he has been obsessively painting bodies with vivid,torn and tortured esh, in order to continue to warn and alert the public about the absurdity of waran uman orrors.

This humanity has no specic face, since the artist does not paint any individuals. He deals with hu-mankind. Recurrent motifs, crows, rats, butchers hooks, crosses as archetypes of violence, injustice:all ts ar part of t symbols an vocabulary tat t artist portrays in is gigantic canvass anpaper drawings. Despite this atmosphere, which may seem frightening and chaotic at rst glance,Vlickovic os not conmn umankin. In fact, is works fn umanity an its futur. Tyar far from bing fatist.
