A collection of essays by distinguished scholars which will introduce the student or museum-goer to the study of Greek vases. Although the book is roughly chronological in arrangement - beginning with the appearance of human figures on Geometric vases, and ending with their virtual disappearance from Hellenistic pottery - it is not a history of Greek vase-painting, nor a handbook. It offers instead a series of suggestions on how to read the often complex images presented by Greek vases, and also explains how the vases were made and distributed. The volume is fully illustrated throughout.Rasmussen, Tom is the author of 'Looking at Greek Vases', published 1991 under ISBN 9780521376792 and ISBN 0521376793.
