Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dynamic Symmetry: The Greek Vase Tion was established in May, 1920, through a gift to Yale University by his widow in memory of Rutherford Trowbridge, Esq., of New Haven, who died December 18, 1918, and who in 1899 had established the Thomas Rutherford Trowbridge Memorial Lectureship Fund in the School of the Fine Arts at Yale. It was in a series of lectures delivered on this Foundation that the material comprised in this volume was first given to the public. By the establishment of the Rutherford Trowbridge Memorial Publication Fund, the Univer sity has been enabled to make available for a much wider audience the work growing out of lectures given at Yale through the generosity of one who sought always to render service to the community in which he lived; and, through its university, to the world.

Download or read book Greek Vase Painting Classic Reprint written by Ernst Buschor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Vase-Painting Mr. Richards' work as a translator was very difficult. In spite Of kindred origin, the German mind in literary produc tion moves on different lines from the English. Not only is the order Of words in a sentence different, but the sentences themselves are much more involved, and German scientific writers aim at an exactness in the use of terms which we seldom attempt. Mr. Richards' version is very accurate; but it must be allowed to be not always easy reading. He preferred to retain as much as possible Of the meaning, even if it involved some stiffness in the text. Students will thank him for this and if the general reader finds that he has to give the text a closer attention than he is used to give to books, he will in fact have his reward.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Vases This inventory of the Greek vases was written more than ten years ago when the Museum was still lodged in the old palace of Gizeh. As was almost inevita ble from the plan of the Catalogue ge'ne'ral as followed at that time, the order in which the objects are numbered and described is rather irregular. Several things came to hand too late to be entered in their proper places, and n 2 6336 263119 in particular were overlooked until the work was half finished. In 1 909 I revised the manuscript, having in the meantime laid it aside in order to pu blish some other volumes of the Catalogue. I also added a description of the new acquisitions, ns32377-3239l1, while Brugsch Pasha was kind enough to make the photographs from which the plates have been prepared. The illustrations in the text are from tracings and sketches of my own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Shapes of Greek Vases written by Metropolitan Museum of Art and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appreciation of beautiful form, with the ability to create it, which was characteristic of the Greek people, is nowhere better illustrated than in the shapes of their pottery. These vases—the jars, dishes, and cups made for household and religious use—were designed with intelligent skill to serve their purpose in the most effective fashion, and are valued for their fine shapes no less than for their interesting and beautiful decoration. The following reproductions of the most important shapes in use among Athenian potters during the sixth and fifth centuries B. C. will show with what care the relation of the height to the width and the proportion of the parts to the whole were designed with a view to harmonious effect, and how skilfully the forms of the neck, the mouth, and the foot, and the position of the handles were planned for practical use. The vases have been selected where possible from the collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; but when a certain shape was not represented here or conspicuously better examples were available elsewhere, vases in other collections have been included. Unless otherwise stated the vases here illustrated are in this Museum.

Book excerpt: Lissargue (author and director of studies, l'Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences socials in Paris) has divided the vases by subject--dining, love, athletes, warriors, heroes, men and gods, Hercules, the Athenians' mythic identity, and Dionysus--and writes at length about each scene chosen. The plates are in color and of high quality, with many details, but the text is substantial as well, providing detailed discussion of what we see in the images and the aspects of Greek life and myth they display. c.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely illustrated volume is aimed at giving a broad audience deeper insight into the extensive collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum is famed for its Greek vases, of which 35 notable examples are detailed in this book. They reveal the variety and vitality of the refined forms and masterfully rendered scenes that characterize these works. And they demonstrate the interrelation of function, shape, technique, and subject matter that is key to understanding the rich language of Greek vases. The introduction provides valuable background information, and the entries delve into the features of each vase, incorporating brilliant color illustrations and many arresting details. Greek vases served specific utilitarian functions, and they also afforded outstanding artists, some of whom signed their work, a medium for depicting both the details of daily existence and aspects of their gods, goddesses, and heroes. We see the garments, implements, athletic competitions, and marriages and funerary rituals of Greeks who lived from the seventh through the fourth century B.C.. We also see their mythological figures and stories. The exceptional group of works assembled in this volume conveys the extent to which the culture of ancient Greece is still apparent today. This book is sure to inspire closer scrutiny of these remarkable works of art, which have survived for over two millennia to offer viewers an enlightening look into the ancient heritage of the Western world. -- from inside Front Cover.
Download or read book Looking at Greek Vases written by Tom Rasmussen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-07-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient Greek vase is a difficult object for the non-expert to come to terms with. Faced with rows of apparently undifferentiated black, red and buff pots, he or she is at a loss as to where to begin. Greek vases are treated as objets d'art in the modern world, but how much were they worth in the ancient? They are often used to demonstrate 'the Greek genius' and aspects of ancient Greek society, but why do many of them carry Eastern motifs, and why do so many turn up in Italy? Why were the Greeks not content with simple patterns on their pottery? What did the pictures on the pots mean to them? Why should a vase depict a scene from a play? These are the sorts of questions that this book, first published in 1991, attempts to answer. As the title implies, it is a series of 'looks' at Greek vases, offering suggestions on how to read the often complex images they present.

Download or read book Catalogue of Greek Etruscan and Roman Vases Classic Reprint written by Edward Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Greek Etruscan and Roman Vases In the present catalogue the Museum of Fine Arts desires to offer to archaeologists an exact description of the vases in its classical collection, and to the general public some assistance in learning to appreciate the qualities which give Greek vases an interest possessed by few classes of ancient monuments. The accomplishment of this twofold task is difficult within the limits of one book, and especially so when the size and character of the book are restricted, as those of a catalogue must necessarily be. The technical description of a vase, in the formulas now universally adopted in archaeological works, is dull if not incomprehensible to those who are not specialists in the subject; whereas the attempt to stop and explain, in every case, why this or that fact is noted, would undoubtedly lead to confusion in one class of readers, and exasperation in another, and would moreover prolong the descriptions indefinitely. Therefore the book has been divided into two parts, - the Catalogue proper, which has been prepared primarily for those who make a special study of Greek ceramics, that they may be informed of what this museum contains; and an Introduction, intended for those who are interested in the subject, but know little about it. In the latter are included a resume of the history of Greek pottery, with descriptions of the different types, an account of the manufacture of Greek vases in the best periods of the art, and a list of the Greek potters whose names survive. For the illustration of characteristics which are described or alluded to, reference is constantly made to vases in our collection, to which the Introduction therefore serves in some degree as a guide or commentary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Vases Historical and Descriptive: With Some Brief Notices of Vases in the Museum of the Louvre, and a Selection From Vases in the British Museum Earthenware Vases, is offered for the use of those who, though possibly unacquainted with the Greek language, history, and legends, are capable of appreci ating beauty in exact form and harmonious proportions; also of deriving some pleasure in the poetical fictions handed down to us from remote ages, such as are seen illustrated on these Vases. The marvellous genius of Greeks who lived nearly three thousand years ago, enabled them to produce works of art, which serve as models in this nineteenth century; and, although their paintings have almost all perished, we have the remains of buildings and sculptures, as well as perfect examples of the humbler art of pottery, all of which bear witness to the excellence they had attained. We may learn from these Vases how the Greek combined utility with what delights the eye, added beauty and refinement to objects in common use, and preserved the traditions of his fathers before the art of writing had become common.
