This book, newly available in paperback, is the definitive survey
of Greek vases by the outstanding world authority on classical
archaeology and art. In it, John Boardman sketches the stylistic
history of Greek vases and goes on to explore the many other
matters that make the subject so fruitful: the process of
identifying artists; the methods of making and decorating the vases
and the problems in doing so; the life of the potter; the pots'
dissemination beyond Greece; and their functions in life, cult and
as messengers of style and subject. Boardman demonstrates how Greek
artists exercised a style of narrative in art that was long
influential in the West, and how their pictures reflected not
simply on story-telling, but on the politics and social order of
the day.
