Book - Art of Crete Mycenae and Greece by German Hafner ATTIC no returns

Professor German Hafner, of the University of Mainz, traces with consummate skill and enviable clarity the development of artistic expression through these two millenniums and throughout the Greek and Aegean worlds. He rejects the notion that the art of the Classic age can be understood without reference to that of Minoan Crete and of Mycenae, and demonstrates convincingly how the unique qualities of Greek art arose from historical and political circumstances as well as from the talents of the creative artists. With the aid of a magnificent display of illustrations, Professor Hafner follows the course of Greek art from the simple geometric forms and decoration of the Early Helladic potters to the strongly naturalistic sculpture of the Hellenistic age, showing the interplay of Greek genius with the foreign—particularly Oriental—influences with which it had contact.

Note upon inspection there is one picture that is cut out on page 121 to 122. I included a photo to show this damage.
