Studien zur griechischen Kunst

Willers, Heinrich, 1870-1915 · 1914 · Leipzig, E. A. Seemann · 33 pictures

Studien zur griechischen Kunst is a 1914 art-historical study of Greek sculpture and coinage by Heinrich Willers, published in Leipzig by E. A. Seemann for scholars of classical art. Its halftone plates show a standing nude male statue, a curly-haired marble head in profile, a relief of chariots and horsemen in registered bands, and a coin with a seated river god beside a plate of a reclining figure. Designers can take from them the stone-and-metal texture of classical relief, the strong profile silhouette, and the tidy horizontal banding of ancient friezes.
