This survey, which centres mainly on Greek sculpture and
vase-painting from 600 to 300 BC, examines research over the past
twenty years. Organised chronologically in terms of media
(free-standing sculpture, architectural sculpture, luxury items,
ceramics), the chapters discuss polychromy, the ethics of
collecting and the relationship between scenes of myth and everyday
life. Attention is also paid to new approaches that question the
concept of 'art' in Classical Greece (what is known as the
'paradigm shift') in which the purposes, contexts and effect of
material culture are given greater prominence. To summarise recent
research, the author adopts a balance between a broad treatment and
detailed description. The text and images (fifty in number and
largely in colour) will be particularly useful to students and
teachers but will have a wider appeal.
