The principles of Greek art
Percy Gardner's 1914 Macmillan study of Greek art, published in New York and aimed at students and general readers of classical art, is illustrated with line drawings of vase painting and sculpture. The plates reproduce Greek vases with black-figure and red-figure decoration, including a circular tondo, a fragmentary curved panel with running figures, and a standing bearded man with a staff against a black ground, which a designer could draw on for stark silhouette and figure-and-ground contrast.
