Unbelievable, no one has reveiwed this text! I first used it in a Classical Studies course in highschool, but found it so helpful as a resource and quick reference that I was furious when someone walked off with it. Well written, nicely laid out, many illustrations, scholarly~ an all around brilliant book to have on your shelf especially as an introduction to the world of Greek Art. In particular, the delineation of seperate Periods, and the highlighting of specific artists make this a gem. Autodidacts~ this is a must!
