The Red and the Black covers the major stages in the history of Greek pottery production, both figured and plain, as they are understood today. It provides an up-to-date evaluation of ways of studying Greek pottery and encourages new approaches. There is a detailed analysis of the subject matter of figured scenes covering some of the main preoccupations of ancient Greece: myth, fantasy and everyday life. Furthermore, it sets the artefacts in the context of the societies that produced them, highlighting the social, art historical, mythological and economic information that can be revealed from their study. This volume also covers a hitherto neglected area: the history of the collecting of Greek pottery through the Renaissance and up to the present day. It shows how market values have gradually increased to the high prices of today and goes on to take a closer look at the enthusiasm of the collectors.

  1. Svårläst
    Gunilla_LA, 5 mars 2014

    "The red and the black" handlar om rödfärgad och svartfärgad keramik under grekisk antik historia. Det är en av de svåraste böcker jag någonsin läst, mest beroende på det faktum att författaren fyllt boken med sina referenser och att dessa referenser fanns mitt inne i den löpande texten. Att skapa ett sammanhang i en text där varje mening bryts av är tufft. Att boken är på engelska var inte lika svårt som avbrotten.

    Detta är en bok som kunde varit betydligt lättare att läsa och ROLIG... Läs hela recensionen
