Recenzje

'Seeing Color in Classical Art stands to make a much-needed intervention in the field due to the author's ability to bring the study of material traces of color in Greek art into conversation not only with literary and philosophical models of color perception in antiquity, but also to frame this recovery of ancient color in thought and practice within the complex theoretical, political, and historiographical reception of classicism. This is a high wire act that the book admirably pulls off, thanks to the sophistication of Stager's intellectual approach and her command of the art-historical landscape.' Verity Platt, Department Chair of Classics and Professor of Classics and History of Art, Cornell University
