Description

Book Synopsis
A practical guide to the methods for approaching, analysing and contextualising an unfamiliar piece of Greek art. It demonstrates how objects are dated and assigned to an artist or region; how to interpret the subject matter; and how to reconstruct the context for which an object was made and used.

Trade Review
'Stansbury-O'Donnell's book will give students of Greek art a good sense of the range of interpretive tools they have at their disposal; it will also, I suspect, help more experienced researchers to identify the weak points in their own mastery of method and theory.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review

Table of Contents
1. The study and presentation of Greek art; 2. Description and visual analysis; 3. Meaning; 4. Context; 5. Identity.
