Gebunden, 216 Seiten, 136 Illustrations, color, 287mm x 245mm x 23mm The artefacts produced in the Cyclades in the Early Bronze Age are unique, and their peerless quality has only recently been appreciated. Their simplicity, balanced lines and uncluttered design are contributing features to the matchless style of prehistoric Aegean sculpture that has endured over the centuries, leaving not even the pioneers of modern art unmoved. The text is up-to-date and academically fully documented in every aspect. The excellent text and diagrams, the explanatory drawings and maps, and the pictures of the unrivalled landscape and artworks will not only arouse the interest of the initiated reader but will also make a profound impression on the non-specialist. Both will derive intellectual and aesthetic delight from the simplicity and austerity, the balance and power of a matchless artistic idiom, which was created in the prehistoric Aegean and has endured over millennia, inspiring some of the great masters of modern art.Nicholas Chr. Stampolidis, archaeologist and author, is the Director of the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. Peggy Sotirakopoulou has been lecturer in the University of Crete and Curator at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. Versandkostenfreie Lieferung Altes Griechenland<
