S. Weinberg's review of D. Levi's study Early Hellenic Pottery of Crete, the author re-examines the problem of the position occupied by Cretan art at the origins of Greek art, and weighs the validity of the conclusions which may be drawn from certain modern methods of archaeological investigation. He analyses the relationships between the cultural and artistic currents of the provincial and central workshops of the island and other racial and commercial currents of both Greece and the East. The forms and styles which set the Cretan schools apart from those of the rest of the Aegean world are investigated, while survivals of the old Minoan element and Creto-Mycenaean artistic tradition during the period of the Greek renaissance on the island are identified. |
