Art and Experience in Classical Greece

By: Pollitt, Jerome Jordan

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Seller ID: 9780521096621

ISBN-13: 9780521096621

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: GOOD

An account of the development of Greek art in the Classical period (about 480-320 BC) which places particular emphasis on the meaning and content of Greek sculpture, architecture and painting. Professor Pollitt reminds us that the visual arts in Greece, as elsewhere, were primarily vehicles of expression. He does not ignore formal development but always relates this to social and cultural history, which it reflected and from which it grew. While his subject is art, he refers frequently to the literature and philosophy of the period which were shaped by the same influences.
