""Geometry of Greek Vases: Attic Vases in the Museum of Fine Arts Analyzed According to the Principles of Proportion Discovered by Jay Hambidge"" is a book written by Lacey Davis Caskey in 1922. The book is a detailed analysis of Attic vases in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, through the lens of the principles of proportion discovered by Jay Hambidge. Hambidge was a renowned American artist and writer who developed a system of proportion based on the Golden Mean and other mathematical principles. Caskey's book explores the geometric patterns and designs on the vases and demonstrates how they adhere to Hambidge's principles of proportion. The author also examines the historical and cultural context of the vases, providing insights into the techniques and materials used to create them. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, making it a valuable resource for art historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in the art and culture of ancient Greece. It is an important contribution to the study of Greek art and design, and a testament to the enduring influence of Jay Hambidge's theories of proportion on the field of art history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
