History's Canvas.
History Today, April, 1999
New works of art history are joined by books contextualising the visual arts, such as Egyptian Art by Jaromir Malek (Phaidon Press, 14.95 [pounds sterling]) to be published shortly, which examines the unique cultural, religious and economic climate that produced the enduring and intriguing works of art from the Egyptian civilisation. Meanwhile, Democracy, Empire and the Arts in Fifth Century Athens edited by Deborah Boedeker and Kurt A. Raaflaub (Harvard University Press, 31.50 [pounds sterling]), discusses to what extent the fifth-century `cultural revolution' depended on Athenian democracy. A more general work on the city is Athens: A Portrait of the City in its Golden Age by Christian Meier (John Murray, 25 [pounds sterling]).
