Douris and the painters of Greek vases
A 1909 London study by Edmond Pottier, Jane Ellen Harrison and Bettina Kahnweiler on the vase painter Douris and his Greek contemporaries, written for scholars and collectors of antiquities. The plates are line reproductions of red-figure vase paintings, shown as roundels and fan-shaped panels with figures in black and orange on dark grounds. A designer might take from them the strong silhouettes of Greek figure composition, the banded meander borders, and the way figures fill curved picture fields.
