Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Ancient Art: Among the Greeks Cline and fall - and also the causes to which may reasonably be attributed the points of resemblance and difference observable in the arts of different na tions. The soundness of his judgment, the acuteness and originality of his observations, and the copious ness of his illustrations, drawn from an intimate familiarity with every extant monument of ancient art, and with everything in ancient classic literature which could elucidate the subject to which he had devoted his life, render him the most trustworthy, instructive, and delightful of the writers on art. I cannot but think that a careful study of Winckel mann's History of Ancient Art, and a thoughtful consideration of the great principles embodied in it, must necessarily tend to form a pure, correct, and elevated taste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Message of Greek Art The list might be prolonged indefinitely, but it would take us far from our chosen theme. Suffice it to say that it is more than doubtful, in the light of our last century of history, whether any race now living, if situated as were the Athenians, subjected to the same temptations and confronted by the same appalling disasters, would acquit themselves as well. And it is perfectly certain that no modern people under like conditions would build a Parthenon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Not the Classical Ideal written by Beth Cohen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vision of reality in which a pre-eminent human type was defined in opposition to non-ideal 'Others' characterized ancient Greece. In democratic Athens the social structure privileged male citizens, and women, resident aliens, and slaves were marginalized. The Persian Wars polarized the opposition of Greeks and Barbarians. This anthology provides the first investigation of the delineation of otherness across a broad spectrum of the imagery of Greek art. An international cast of authors, with methodologies ranging from traditional to avant-garde, examines manifestations of the Other in Late Archaic and Classical Greek representations that particularly interest them. The 17 chapters develop a nuanced picture of the visual criteria that denoted otherness in regard to gender, class, and ethnicity and also reveal the social and political functions of this remarkable Greek imagery. Also available in paperback (ISBN 9789004117129)

Download or read book The Emergence of the Classical Style in Greek Sculpture written by Richard Neer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-10-22 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging study, Richard Neer offers a new way to understand the epoch-making sculpture of classical Greece. Working at the intersection of art history, archaeology, literature, and aesthetics, he reveals a people fascinated with the power of sculpture to provoke wonder in beholders. Wonder, not accuracy, realism, naturalism or truth, was the supreme objective of Greek sculptors. Neer traces this way of thinking about art from the poems of Homer to the philosophy of Plato. Then, through meticulous accounts of major sculpture from around the Greek world, he shows how the demand for wonder-inducing statues gave rise to some of the greatest masterpieces of Greek art. Rewriting the history of Greek sculpture in Greek terms and restoring wonder to a sometimes dusty subject, The Emergence of the Classical Style in Greek Sculpture is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the art of sculpture or the history of the ancient world.

Download or read book Exhibition of Ancient Greek Art Classic Reprint written by Burlington Fine Arts Club and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition of Ancient Greek Art Greek as if it had been found on the Athenian Akropolis, and that the Etruscan vases found on Etruscan and Italian soil are mainly Attic is now a matter of ancient history. May not the same be the case to a certain extent with the numerous bronzes which are labelled Etruscan because of their provenance? If it be urged that the finds on the soil of Greece proper have not - as was in variably the case with the vases - always yielded bronzes similar in subject and character to those from Etruria, it may again be asked whether certain classes of objects were not made in Athens for export only, to meet the taste and demand of foreign clients? In the majority of cases it, is futile to pronounce definitely on artistic as opposed to local provenance, so long as many classical sites, in Asia Minor in particular, remain unexcavated and unex plored. The artistic predominance of Attica and Athens becomes clearer daily. We have seen within the last ten or fifteen years the Northern Greek School of Brunn and the famous Aeginetan School disappear with the recognition that Athens had produced the same artistic phenomena and was the parent of them all. In the same way it will doubtless come to pass that many objects, though found in Etruria and put to Etruscan usage, prove to be Greek, and perhaps Attic in their origin. Meanwhile, it has seemed wise and even scientific to admit side by Side with works of art (in this case mainly bronzes and a few terra-cottas, since vases are happily no longer in question) found in Greece or in the avowedly Greek colonies of Asia Minor, Egypt, and Magna Graecia, a number of the so - called Etruscan bronzes, provided always that these bore unmistakable traces of direct or indirect Greek influence.
