STUDIES ON ANTIQUE PAINTING AND USE OF COLOR VI
Nadja J. Koch Techne und Erfindung in der klassischen Malerei.
A terminological investigation.
In the 5th Century B.C. the scientific discipline of art criticism
developed from the collection of knowledge and recipes at the
disposal of painters and sculptures. The terminology, which was
left to us in particular by Plinius, makes it possible to discover
specialised terms, which help to clarify many controversial questions
of the story of technology and of the organisation of the workshops.
Through particular study of writings on art (Xenokrates of Athens)
and the philosophical examination of art in the process of establishing
itself (Plato and Aristoteles) a theory of classical art can be
achieved.
