Opis

Incorporating novel approaches and neglected evidence, Artists and Artistic Production in Ancient Greece questions many long-held ideas and provides a deeper understanding of particular artists and architects, their works, and their social agency. The authors refer to historiography as well as to modern theory, while offering new directions for research.
