| Abstract
|
:
|
In this wide-ranging study, Richard Neer develops new tools for understanding the epoch-making sculpture of classical Greece. Working at the intersection of art history, archaeology, literary criticism, and aesthetics, Neer begins by examining the terms in which the Greeks themselves described works of art. He reveals a people fascinated with the uncanny power of images to give presence and visibility to the unseen, the absent, or the super-natural. This project will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in sculpture, the history of art, or classical studies.--Publisher.
