Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a captivating exploration of the influence of projected shadows in shaping the development of ancient Greek drawing and painting techniques. The author presents intriguing evidence that Greek ceramicists and painters utilized silhouette tracing as a standard practice from the mid-7th century BC. By projecting human and animal forms onto a screen, artists could effortlessly achieve precise outlines while relying on additional brushwork to fill in intricate details. This groundbreaking method, potentially introduced from Egypt, not only revolutionized the aesthetics of Greek art but also influenced the work of renowned painters of the era. The book explores this technique's impact on the transition from archaic black-figure pottery to the groundbreaking red-figure style, shedding new light on the evolution of artistic practices and the profound influence of shadow in the history of artistic representation.
