In Artists and Artistic Production in Ancient Greece, art historians, archaeologists, and historians explore the roles and impacts of artists and craftsmen in ancient Greek society. The contributing authors draw upon artistic, architectural, literary, epigraphical, and historical evidence to discuss a range of artists, architects, artistic media, and regions. They refer to historiography and modern theory, taking stock of the past while offering some new directions for future research. Incorporating a variety of methodological approaches and making use of often-neglected evidence, Artists and Artistic Production in Ancient Greece re-examines many long-held ideas and provides a deeper understanding of particular artists and architects, their works, and their social agency Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Artists -- Greece Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.) Art -- Economic aspects -- Greece -- History -- To 1500 Art and society -- Greece -- History -- To 1500 ART -- History -- Ancient & Classical.
