Die griechische plastik
Die griechische Plastik is a 1911 Leipzig survey of Greek sculpture by the art historian Emanuel Loewy, written for students and scholars of classical art. Its photographic plates show freestanding marble statues shot full length against black backgrounds, with numbered captions. A designer could take from them the stiff frontal stance of early kouroi contrasted with the draped, weight-shifting figures of later Greek sculpture.
