Book Synopsis Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C. by : William A. P. Childs
Download or read book Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C. written by William A. P. Childs and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C. analyzes the broad character of art produced during this period, providing in-depth analysis of and commentary on many of its most notable examples of sculpture and painting. Taking into consideration developments in style and subject matter, and elucidating political, religious, and intellectual context, William A. P. Childs argues that Greek art in this era was a natural outgrowth of the high classical period and focused on developing the rudiments of individual expression that became the hallmark of the classical in the fifth century. As Childs shows, in many respects the art of this period corresponds with the philosophical inquiry by Plato and his contemporaries into the nature of art and speaks to the contemporaneous sense of insecurity and renewed religious devotion. Delving into formal and iconographic developments in sculpture and painting, Childs examines how the sensitive, expressive quality of these works seamlessly links the classical and Hellenistic periods, with no appreciable rupture in the continuous exploration of the human condition. Another overarching theme concerns the nature of “style as a concept of expression,” an issue that becomes more important given the increasingly multiple styles and functions of fourth-century Greek art. Childs also shows how the color and form of works suggested the unseen and revealed the profound character of individuals and the physical world.

Download or read book Greek Style written by Suzanne Slesin and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 1988 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient and modern, rustic and elegant, minimal yet rich in detail, Greek style is remarkable for its contrasts and eclectic mix of influences. This book captures not only the authentic character of Greek interior design, but also the liveliness of Greek culture. In a country where one is never far from the sea, the intense azure of water and the brilliance of sunlight are the primary elements of style. To these essentials are added dazzling white and delicate pastel-shaded walls, cool floors of stone or mosaic, colourful fabrics and charming examples of folk art. Here we discover the dramatic geographical range of Greece, from the mountainous northern mainland to the Cyclades and Dodecanese islands, with their white-washed fishing villages clinging to rocky hills. Here too are centuries-old estates, the turquoise and pink studio of a local artist, and the cliff-top and beach-front dwellings of newcomers. From the modest one-room village house to the rock-carved hideaway and luxurious villa perched over the sea, all celebrate the unforgettable and enduring stylistic tradition of Greece.

Book Synopsis The Art of Contact by : S. Rebecca Martin
Download or read book The Art of Contact written by S. Rebecca Martin and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-05-19 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proem to Herodotus's history of the Greek-Persian wars relates the long-standing conflict between Europe and Asia from the points of view of the Greeks' chief antagonists, the Persians and Phoenicians. However humorous or fantastical these accounts may be, their stories, as voiced by a Greek, reveal a great deal about the perceived differences between Greeks and others. The conflict is framed in political, not absolute, terms correlative to historical events, not in terms of innate qualities of the participants. Becky Martin reconsiders works of art produced by, or thought to be produced by, Greeks and Phoenicians during the first millennium B.C., when they were in prolonged contact with one another. Although primordial narratives that emphasize an essential quality of Greek and Phoenician identities have been critiqued for decades, Martin contends that the study of ancient history has not yet effectively challenged the idea of the inevitability of the political and cultural triumph of Greece. She aims to show how the methods used to study ancient history shape perceptions of it and argues that art is especially positioned to revise conventional accountings of the history of Greek-Phoenician interaction. Examining Athenian and Tyrian coins, kouros statues and wall mosaics, as well as the familiar Alexander Sarcophagus and the sculpture known as the "Slipper Slapper, " Martin questions what constituted "Greek" and "Phoenician" art and, by extension, Greek and Phoenician identity.
