Metamorphosis at The National Gallery - Abstraction

In 3D and sculpture I am now looking into metamorphosis as part of my course.
Having looked at The National Gallery website and the exhibition about metamorphosis I have found out about the poems and artwork that base themselves on metamorphosis...http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/metamorphosis-titian-2012

Basically, there's an exhibition all about these poems with artwork, both traditional and contemporary. The contemporary works give a modern twist on the ancient stories, whereas the traditional work shows the poems in a more literal way.

The three paintings depict stories from Ovid's epic poem ‘Metamorphoses’. The poems are as follows:

Diana of Actaeon http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-diana-and-actaeon

The Death of Actaeon http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-the-death-of-actaeon

Diana and Callisto http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-diana-and-callisto

Chris Ofili, Conrad Shawcross and Mark Wallinger

Three contemporary artists, as above, they each took the poems in their own way and created modern artwork based upon the poems, including costumes and set designs for three new ballets also based upon these poems at The Royal Opera House.

"Top British choreographers, dancers and composers have collaborated with the artists to create an evening of three new works, performed at The Royal Opera House by The Royal Ballet in July 2012.
Watch excerpts of the ballets, recorded live on 16 July."

Details about the poems:
Roman poet Ovid’s (43 BC–17 AD) 15 book poem was written in Latin and features the story of Diana, which inspired Titian's three great paintings.
Based on the theme of 'change' ('Metamorphoses' means 'transformations' in Greek), these mythical tales were as renowned in Titian's day as Bible stories, and were a popular source of inspiration for many Renaissance artists.

^ This helps a lot to understand the first two poems! A more modern representation to explain the poems in a simplistic and dramatized way.

^ This explains how The Royal Ballet company came up with this new interpretation and transformed it into a ballet performance. It explains how the robot / sculpture represents Diana
