Gardner, Percy. Grammar of Greek art. [**]$1.75. Macmillan.
This volume “presents an attempt to set forth the underlying conventions of Greek art, and the changes which ... they gradually underwent. The mental fashions of the Greek mind in building and sculpture and in painting, are presented with a discussion of the relation between epic, lyric and dramatic poetry to painting and vase decoration. An informing chapter is devoted to the subject of dress and drapery.... Such sculptural problems as the decoration of pediments are carefully analyzed. Interesting light is thrown upon the formation of sculptural types and the Greek tendency to impressionalism.... Illustrations in outline and half tone are sufficiently plentiful to point in every case the discussion and argument.”—Int. Studio.
“Dr. Gardner’s book, though brief, covers a wide range, and is rich in illustration; but we could wish that the beauty of the originals had been better rendered, even at a sacrifice of number.”

“In all his treatment is suggestive, not exhaustive. Information he supplies, but his aim is rather to teach how to understand. The English style leaves something to be desired.”

“A valuable volume whose only fault is that it fails as an attempt to provide an elementary study of the subject, and presupposes considerable classical training on the part of the reader.”
