Reviews:

  • Having just spent 7 hours in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I wanted some books to remind me of the wonderful collections of various periods of art history. This book is the best overall introduction to Greek art and a great reminder of the power and diversity of Greek art. I was an Art major in college so I already had something of a background in the major historical periods of worldwide art development. I definitely concur with all the other 5 star reviews of this book. It is not only a great introduction to Greek art, but it goes into more depth that an Art Survey course does. It is a bit smaller than I expected, but the better to carry it around at a museum. I suggest using it that way as well as to read the fine text.
  • I purchased this book in July 1969 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. and its companion Roman Art and Architecture. Love both of them.
  • As with the other books in this diverse series, it provides what you are looking for. A bit dry, but that is to be expected. If you’re looking for a great introduction to the subject, I would recommend this book. Especially if you don’t want to fork out the money for The History of Art, or want something more in-depth.
