Greek Art and the Orient

Ann Clyburn Gunter

4.9/5 (12013 ratings)

Description:For over a century, scholars have recognized an "orientalizing period" in the history of early Greek art, in which Greek artisans fashioned works of art under the stimulus of Near Eastern imports or resident foreign artisans. Previous studies have emphasized the role of Greek & Phoenician traders in bringing about these contacts with the civilizations of the ancient Near East & Egypt, debating their duration or intensity in the Greek world. In this study, Gunter interrogates the categories of "Greek" & "Oriental" as problematic & shifts emphasis to modes of contact & cultural transfers within a broader regional setting. Her provocative study places Greek encounters with the Near East & Egypt in the context of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which by the 8-7th centuries BCE extended from southern Turkey to western Iran. Using an expanded array of archeological & textual sources, she argues that crucial aspects of the identity & meaning of foreign works of art were constructed thru circumstances of transfer, ownership & display.List of IllustrationsPreface & AcknowledgmentsArt & 'Assyrianization' along the imperial frontiersConceptual geographies & frameworksDefining & interpreting styles Gifts, exchange & acquisitionImperial ideologies & modes of appropriationConclusionsNotesSelected BibliographyIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
