Rezensionen
"Mark Fullerton's important treatment of the history of ancient Greek sculpture is concise, powerful, and -- above all -- imaginative. Written by a master art historian at the top of his game, this book is a necessary addition to the libraries of classicists and archaeologists, students and professionals alike."

Peter Schultz, North Dakota State University

"Clear, concise, informative, and adequately illustrated, this is exactly the kind of balanced, well-rounded survey that undergraduates need but seldom get."

Andrew Stewart, University of California, Berkeley

"Fullerton's welcome chronological survey of Greek sculpture provides a solid foundation of up-to-date information and illuminates this rich body of material with acute observations on style, iconography, and interpretation."

A.A. Donohue, Bryn Mawr College
