CLASSICAL ART A LIFE HISTORY FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE PRESENT

by Caroline Vout

Published by Princeton University Press. 1st. 2018

Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. How did the statues of ancient Greece wind up dictating art history in the West? How did the material culture of the Greeks and Romans come to be seen as "classical" and as "art"? Blue boards, white title to spine. 359 pages (including index). Colour and b/w photos throughout.

Spine and corners bumped and rubbed, dent to lower edge of front cover. Textblock is very slightly grubby. Dustwrapper is slightly sunned to spine and is a little creased at top edge.
