This new account of Greek art from c800 to 323BC shows how
sculptors and painters responded to the challenges of the
formidable and ambitious world in which the Greek city-state was
created and developed. Ranging widely over sculpture, vase painting
and the minor arts, the book provides a stimulating introduction to
the art of archaic and classical Greece. The symbols and images of
the eastern Mediterranean on the one hand, and the narratives of
the Greek poets on the other, produced the rich diversity of forms
apparent in Greek art. By looking closely at the context in which
and for which sculptures and paintings were produced, as well as at
religion and myth, politics and the economy, the book shows how
artistic developments were both a product of, and contributed to,
the intensely competitive life of the Greek city. (Kirkus UK)
