Rasmussen & Spivey Looking at Greek vases

Corinth & the Orientalising phenomemon - 6th century potters & painters of Athens - Greek vases in Etruria - fine wares in the hellenistic world..

Cambridge University Press, 1993, reprint, 282p, paperback, illustré, bon état

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.
