Description
Art and Experience in Classical Greece explores the development of Greek art during the Classical period (about 480-320 BC), with a focus on sculpture, architecture, and painting. Professor Pollitt examines how these visual arts reflected and were influenced by social and cultural history.
The book places emphasis on the meaning and content of Greek art, relating its formal development to the literature and philosophy of the time. By considering the broader cultural context, Pollitt sheds light on the ways in which art was used as a means of expression.
