‎HOMER AND THE ARTISTS Text and Picture in Early Greek Art‎

‎Very minor shelfwear. ; This is a study of the works of art from early Greece that have long been presented as "illustrations to Homer, " but that are argued here to be nothing of the kind. Early Greek artists showed no preference for Homeric subjects and, when their interests did coincide with Homer's, treated his account as, at best, one of the possible variants. Close descriptive analysis of texts and pictures and of the artists' aims, together with statistical evidence, provide the basis for the argument. ; 0.43 x 8.29 x 5.91 Inches; 200 pages‎

‎COMIC ANGELS And Other Approaches to Greek Drama through Vase-Paintings‎

‎Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ spine sunned. ; 168 pages; This book opens a neglected chapter in the reception of Athenian drama, especially comedy, and gives center stage to a particularly attractive and entertaining series of vase-paintings which have generally been regarded as marginal curiosities. These are the so-called "phylax vases," nearly all painted in Greek cities of South Italy in the period 400 to 360 B. C. Until now, they have been taken to reflect a sort of local folk-theater, but Taplin argues that most, if not all, reflect Athenian comedy of the sort represented by Aristophanes. His bold thesis brings up questions about the relation of tragedy as well as comedy to vase painting, the cultural climate of the Greek cities in Italy, and the extent to which Athenians were aware of drama as a potential "export." It also enriches appreciation of many key aspects of Aristophanic comedy. The book has assembled 47 photographs of vase-paintings, many printed here for the first time outside specialist publications not readily accessible.‎

‎TRADITION AND ORIGINALITY A Study of Exekias‎

‎Some minor edgewear to wraps and first few pages. ; Exekias inscribes his signature on several of his vases, and so he is one of the relatively few archaic painters whose real name is known to us. He is arguably one of the most accomplished and innovative of all black-figure vase-painters working in Athens in the sixth century BC, and also one of the most intriguing. Although his corpus of extant works is rather small, his impact on his contemporaries and immediate successors can be judged to have been disproportionately large. His painting style is not idiosyncratic, and so may be described as distinguished rather than distinctive; it is nevertheless readily identifiable as much for its technical quality as for the creative conceptualization of the scenes. His range of subjects, the exquisite precision of his execution, and above all his technical and conceptual innovation are the hallmarks of his personal style, and there is scarcely a book on Greek vase-painting that does not use one of his vases to illustrate the peak of achievement in the black-figure technique, yet there is a dearth of monograph studies of his work. This extensive work pays homage to this great artist, including the construction of a persuasive chronology of Exekias' extant paintings through a comprehensive process of comparative analysis. ; BAR International Series 2092; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 413 pages‎

‎SHAPES AND IMAGES Studies on Attic Black Figure and Related Topics in Honour of Herman A. G. Brijder‎

‎Very faint shelfwear to book. Slight bump to top of spine. ; This collection of papers is dedicated to Herman Brijder upon his retirement from the University of Amsterdam. He is a renowned scholar in the field of Greek ancient pottery and his research is mainly concentrated on the so-called Siana cups, made in the middle of the 6th century BC at Athens. Twenty three colleagues, among which former students, wrote articles on diverse aspects of Greek pottery of the 6th and 5th centuries BC, especially on vases produced at Athens. Various contributions have been presented during a round table in Brijder's former working environment, the Allard Pierson Museum at Amsterdam. Subjects include the iconography of mythical figures, the depiction of animals, means of transport, the shapes of drinking vessels and the distribution of Athenian pottery in the Mediterranean. A few essays deal with related topics. As a whole, the volume is a representative overview of themes that matter in modern research of ancient Greek pottery. ; Babesch Supplement 14; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 234 pages‎

‎READING GREEK VASES‎

‎Very light pencil marginalia to a couple of pages by Jenifer Neils. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; Repetition and symmetry are the fundamental aesthetic principles underlying the shape and decoration of ancient Athenian vases. This book is the first comprehensive study of the role of repetition beyond its aesthetic value, and as part of a code that conveys meaning to the viewer. Relying on the theoretical background provided through information theory and narratology, Ann Steiner uncovers the different kinds of meaning that painters created through the use of repetition. Using the reading of painted verbal inscriptions as a springboard, she demonstrates how repetition of imagery in multiple fields of a vase can create narration, paradigm, exploration of perceptual and ideological point of view, and parody. Steiner shows how the results of repetition on Archaic Athenian vases reiterate the activities of the elite symposion and the broader cultural values of the elite Athenians. She provides an entirely new way to read ancient Athenian vases. ; 10.0 X 778,740,086.0 X 1.3 inches; 358 pages‎

‎LOOKING AT GREEK VASES‎

‎Minor pencilling. Lower corners of wraps creased. Paperclip indent to 1 page. Pen markings to 1 page. Else VG. ; This is a collection of essays by distinguished scholars that 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, or 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. ; 300 pages‎

‎LA COLLEZIONE ASTARITA NEL MUSEO GREGORIANO ETRUSCO. PARTE I, 1: Ceramica Greca a Figure Nere Di Produzione Non Attica.‎

‎Gift inscription in ink to ffep from author to Jenifer Neils. Minor edgewear and faint creasing to wraps. ; Important scientific catalogue, Italian only, showing the 53 vases and fragments of the Greek not Attic black-figure pottery originally forming part of the valuable collection that Mario Astarita donated to Pope Paul VI in 1967. The classification, resulted from a complex historical and archival research, although concerning the less conspicuous part of the collection, has experienced considerable difficulties both for the heterogeneity of the finds that compose it, and for the lack of data on their origins. The finds, in prevalence of Corinthian production, are divided by class and analyzed for type and shape, even including factories that are not identifiable. Much of the volume is dedicated to the vessel that takes the name of the collection, the "Astarita Crater", highlighting not only the archaeological and scientific prestige but also the literary and artistic value. The critical cards offer meticulous descriptions of the iconographic themes and decorations, analysis of the material and of the state of conservation, unpublished reconstructions and hypotheses of attribution, as well as a thorough bibliographical apparatus. Following the cards, there is the scheme of concordances between the various classification of vessels and fragments. Particularly valuable are the tables closing the volume that show the 53 artifacts in detail. ; Vasi Antichi Dipinti Del Vaticano; 144 pages; Signed by Author‎
