Art-Arch 433: Greek Vase Painting
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This seminar examines vase painting from the geometric period (ca. 800 bc) to the end of the red-figure style (ca. 350 bc), but the majority of class time is spent looking at Attic vase-painting of the 6th and 5th centuries bc The iconography of Greek vases, particularly Attic black-figure and red-figure, provides an extraordinary view into the culture and beliefs of contemporary society. Some vases are clearly made as grave offerings, others as votive offerings at sanctuaries, and still others for use at home. The focus of this seminar is the relationship of a vase's images to the context of its use. How much does the intended use and audience for the vase determine the images on it? These important questions have not received much attention by scholars, and class papers may possibly result in publications. Enthusiastic class participation required. Occasional responsibility for presentation of weekly readings. Class paper and presentation.
