Greek Pottery By Michael Greenberg

Black Figure Pots Most popular style (620 – 480 BCE) Style that artists first took credit for Overtaken by Red Figure pots in ~520 BCE First produced in Corinth but soon taken over in quality by Athens Silhouetted figures in black are characteristic of the style and is of a corinthian invention. It boasts the earliest style individual artists took credit for. Sophilos in 580BCE. It was oven taken by Red figure Pottery but continued strongly in pananthanaic amphorae well into the 4th centure BCE. Pananthanaic amphorae were large vessels that were given out as prizes during the pananthenaic games.

Exekias: Panenthaic amphorae Exekias is commonly known as the most famous black figure painter. He floureshed from 550-525 BCE. He was mainly a potter, and of the 13 vases we have discovered, he signed two as both painter and potter, and 11 as potter. His work shows mastery of the black figure form and his work is some of the best preserved work that we have. According to The University of Oxford, the figure on the left shows Dioskouroi returning home to his parents, Leda, and Tyndareos. Dioskouroi was a hero son of zeus, who rescued Helen from theseus and eventually joined the argonauts.

Red Figure Pottery Developed in Athens in the 6th century BCE Vase production stopped in the 3rd century Pioneers of the Red Figure pottery style were Euphraios and Euthymides (500 – 180 BCE) Developed after BFP. Vase production may have stopped and or slowed due to alexander the greats control in the city but historians are unclear on why. However, Lucanain, sicilian, camparian, and paestum styles continued after this slowdown however. On the figure on the right, duels from the trojan war are depicted. The main action is Achielles killing Memnon who was king of ethiopia. Here, achilles is encouraged by Athena and Memnon is falling into his mother, Eos, goddes of the dawn.

The Berlin Painter The Berlin Potter lived in athens in about 505 BCE. He is anonymous – he never signed any of his work. Considered one of the masters of red figure pottery. According to the Princeton art museum the work is “embued with suave elegance and a palpable tension between shape and decoration”. His most common areas of export were Etruria, Vulci and Cerveteri. Depictions of Myth, cult, and daily life were common in his work.

Clay - Atticus had the finest clay Most was thrown on the wheel in pieces Decoration was done in paint with high ferrous iron oxide content Attica had the finest clay because it was high in iron which gave it a red coloring after the firing. The clay was processed by means of levigation, which basically means that it was mixed with water and larger things were allowed to settle to the bottom. The more things that were processed out the finer and higher quality the clay was. Almost always thrown on the wheel in separate parts: foot, lower body, upper body, neck, and handles. Special firing process: Fire to 800 degrees with air vent open = the paint and the pot turn red Close the vents and bring the temperature up to 950 degrees then 900 degrees = the pot and paint turn black. Then open the vents again and let the kiln cool completely = pottery Is red paint is black.
