Tijuana Adult Entertainment: Rare Chance To See Greek Art In San Diego
Unfortunately, little attention is given to the quality of the finely crafted vessels and their painted surfaces. Much of the work on display is superb. An elegant clay kylix—think of a very low, wide martini glass with handles used to drink wine—attributed to Hieron (the potter) and Makon (the painter) gracefully merge curved form with curved painted fugures. The vessel’s shape has a delicate silhouette and is painted on the outside with four men courting four hetairai—prostitute/courtesans—who all wear garments rendered with graceful flowing lines. On the inside of the drinking vessel, a circular image features a woman making a sacrifice to the gods. The woman is elegantly dressed in delicately rendered curvilinear lines that describe her gown and festival mantle. The vessel’s form and decoration are a perfect unification of both physical and painted rhythmic curves.
