Comic Angels
ISBN: 9780198147978 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book opens up a neglected chapter in the reception of Athenian drama, especially comedy; and it gives stage-center to a particularly attractive and entertaining series of vase-paintings, hitherto regarded as marginal curiosities. These are the so-called "phlyax" vases; nearly all painted in the Greek cities of South Italy in the period 400-300 BC. Up till now, they have been taken to reflect some kind of folk theatre, but Oliver Taplin, promoted by three new vases recently published, argues that many reflect Athenian comedy of the sort represent by Aristophanes. This bold thesis opens up...

Do utilitarian or aesthetic concerns dominate in the transformation of nature?" from the Introduction The Potter s Art discusses and illustrates the work of modern masters of traditional ceramics from Bangladesh, Sweden, various parts of the United States, Turkey, and...

ISBN: 9780521338813 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Professor Martin Robertson, author of A History of Greek Art (CUP 1975) and A Shorter History of Greek Art (CUP 1981), draws together the results of a lifetime's study of Greek vase-painting, tracing the history of figure-drawing on Athenian pottery from the invention of the "red-figure" technique in the later archaic period to the abandonment of figured vase-decoration two hundred years later. The book covers red-figure and also work produced over the same period in the same workshops in black-figure and other techniques, especially that of drawing in outline on a white ground....

Looking at Greek Vases
ISBN: 9780521376792 / Angielski / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a collection of essays by distinguished scholars that will introduce the student or museum-goer to the study of Greek vases. Although the book is roughly chronological in arrangement--beginning with the appearance of human figures on Geometric vases, and ending with their virtual disappearance from Hellenistic pottery--it is not a history of Greek vase painting, or a handbook. It offers instead a series of suggestions on how to read the often complex images presented by Greek vases, and also explains how the vases were made and distributed. The volume is fully illustrated throughout.

Homer and the Artists: Text and Picture in Early Greek Art
ISBN: 9780521629812 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a study of the works of art from early Greece that have long been presented as "illustrations to Homer," but that are argued here to be nothing of the kind. Early Greek artists showed no preference for Homeric subjects and, when their interests did coincide with Homer's, treated his account as, at best, one of the possible variants. Close descriptive analysis of texts and pictures and of the artists' aims, together with statistical evidence, provide the basis for the argument.
