Description
Susan Woodford’s book is a brief introduction to the sacred core of ancient art, to the world of interpretations and the search for perfect form. Ancient masters lived in an age of myths and were their very creators, experimenting with different techniques and materials and arguing with the ideas and plots of authoritative mythological cycles (about the Trojan War, Heracles, the Argonauts, the heroes of Thebes, and others). With close attention to detail and context, the author shows why works of art became not only objects of trade and luxury, but also a way to interpret historical events—political declarations—as well as elaborate riddles and puzzles. By finding keys to the images of ancient artists, readers will learn how the world of chaos, wars, and violence was reimagined, how the images of monsters and killers were made human, how tender family portraits of whimsical centaur-like monsters came to be, and so on. Careful analysis of specific images carried out by the author will help readers understand them, but will not dissolve their mystery; rather, it will remind us of the need to think and overcome mechanical, template perception of familiar plots.
