Euthymides and his fellows
Euthymides and His Fellows is a 1917 scholarly study of Greek vase-painting by Joseph Clark Hoppin, published by Harvard University Press for art historians and archaeologists. Its plates reproduce red-figure and black-figure pottery as line drawings and photographs. The pictures show figures in dense friezes, rimmed bands of palmette ornament, and vessel shapes, with the artist's contour lines clearly separating bodies, drapery, and background. A designer could take from them the strong silhouette, the economical linework, and the rhythmic border patterns of classical Greek ornament.
