520    "The Amasis Painter was one of ancient Greece's greatest 
       vase painters, yet his own name has not been recorded, and
       he is known today only by the name of the potter whose 
       works he most often decorated. A true individualist in the
       history of Athenian painting, he produced work 
       distinguished by its delicacy, precision, and wit. When 
       the Amasis Painter began his artistic career around 560 
       B.C., Attic black-figure vase-painting was already fully 
       established and about to overtake Corinthian pottery in 
       the competition for the Etruscan market. Toward the end of
       his extraordinarily long career around 515 or even later-
       the red-figure technique had been invented and was rapidly
       supplanting black-figure in fashion. By tracing the Amasis
       Painter's stylistic development from his earliest vases to
       his latest, this book offers a survey of Attic black-
       figure technique at the peak of its perfection. The book 
       was prepared to accompany an exhibition held at the 
       Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Toledo Museum of Art, and 
       the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1985-1986. The 
       exhibition is the first ever to be devoted to the work of 
       a single artist from ancient Greece, and twenty-two 
       museums and private collectors have lent the vases on 
       display."--GoogleBooks.
