Review
a different approach suggesting new perspectives and original connections ... eye-opening and thought-provoking (Professor François Lissarrague, Ecoles des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris )

First Sentence
A study of archaic and classical Greek art rightly stands at the head of a series of books on the history of western art, for it was precisely in Greece between 800 and 300 BC that the tradition began which has dominated western art ever since. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
I bought this book to compliment my OU study 'Experiencing the Classical World', not realising at the time that the author appears on one of the DVDs! I was wary about buying a book that I had not looked at in a bookstore, but I took a risk and it paid off. This book compliments the course perfectly but is also an interesting 'stand-alone' read.
The format is brilliant with very specific chapter titles so you can find what you want very quickly. The illustrations are in colour and are plentiful and the text is well written, informative and understandable. In short, it is a book about art that has rapidly become one of my favourite books. Definetly worth buying.

Format:Paperback
This book looks at Greek arts and architecture from the -800s to the -300s. It is classical in this chronological take but the way it is written is very modern and will be very engaging to most readers.
It does establish the narrative of Archaic and Classical Greek Art with an approachable tone and expression, and it also gives room for a reflexive approach.
The reader is also offered the opportunity to follow the scholar in his questioning of the archaeological evidence and the formal analysis of objects towards wider conclusions about stylistic, technical and social evolutions.
Although every chapter is given a thematic title, the book follows overall a chronological development.
It is very generously illustrated, both in colours and in black and white, and wide margins leave plenty of space for the reader to jot down their thoughts or take some notes along the text.
