A new small format book on Greek Art , in some ways rivalling John Boardman's book of the same title, although lacking the range of Boardman's study. Mark Fullerton's book focuses on the Classical period, 480-323 BC, with each chapter exploring a different genre, such as geometric, oriental and archaic styles,introduced through a discussion of the Parthenon friezes and sculpture. Subjects include the politics, social, and religious functions of Greek art, sculpture, architecture and painting. Illustrated with many examples from Greece and the Greek islands.
