	Exekias - History for Kids!
		One of the most famous Greek fl-figure vase painters was called Exekias (ex-EEK-ee-us).
		Based on the style of the vases he painted, Exekias lived about 540 BC.
		You might think that a skilled artist like Exekias would be a rich man. But he probably was not.

	Exekias
		Exekias was interested in the depiction of grand moments in life, death and religion, rather than in the details of mythology.
		It is diagnostic of Exekias that he uses the shape of the vessel and its protrusions as a terrain to which the lines and forms of the painting conform.
		A second diagnostic of Exekias is that he fills the outlines of his figures densely with carefully incised lines showing a microcosm of detail, especially in the clothes and armor of the characters.

		The neck-amphoras with figured zones on the shoulder and on the lower part show lingering traces of the first, but in general Exekias did not favor this type of decoration, which in his day, partly through his influence, was on the wane.
		The figure of Apollo holding his lyre stands almost free between the horses and the chariot, and there is ample space in front of him for Artemis to show to advantage her richly embroidered peplos and delicately wrought crown.
		There is no necessity to suppose that the career of Exekias extended into the red-figure period, but we are justified in crediting him with the introduction-or invention-of the calyx-krater.

		It is a classic case of 'the calm before the storm," and the moment that Exekias has chosen to depict is the antithesis of the Archaic penchant for dramatic action.
		That may be seen in such details as the extraordinarily intricate engraving of the patterns on the heroes' cloaks (highlighted with delicate touches of white) and in the brilliance of the composition.
		For all his brilliance, Exekias is still wedded to many of the old conventions.

		The vase painter Exekias painted some very beautiful vases, which date from around 530 B.C. To determine whether Exekias was the best fl-figure artist of all time, we have to first consider the other fl figure artists that are among the best, and compare the work of Exekias to them.
		From this, one can then determine an opinion over whether or not Exekias was the best, or just among the best.
		Exekias' most famous vase is an Amphora showing Ajaz and Achilles playing a game.

		While body proportions are still not anatomically correct, Exekias indicates volume and shape by using sgraffito, carving linear detail into the fl shapes of the figures.
		Rather than focusing on the battles to come, Exekias here captures the more human moment of two warriors at rest, trying to take their minds off their worries of what is soon to come.

		In the case of Exekias, if he was the owner and painted the vases signed "egrapsen" but did not necessarily pot these vases, it would explain why the painting is so extraordinary on the Exekias vases even though they are not particularly unusual in shape (though well-made).
		L 1981.145) may have been potted by Exekias and painted by a member of Group E and thus be an earlier Exekian eye cup than the Munich cup.
		Exekias may not have potted or painted it but owned the workshop, set out the design, and supervised its production.

		Black-figure was a cumbersome, restricted, and quite artificial technique, yet many magnificent vases testify to the variety of effect and the forcefulness of expression that it nonetheless permitted.
		Probably the greatest single fl-figure artist was Exekias, who was both potter and painter.
		Although the essential ingredients of this work are traditional, its particular character is evident in the robust shape, the extraordinary precision and vitality in the figures and ornament, and the perfect relationship of the decorative elements to the body beneath.

	The Suicide of Ajax
		Exekias skillfully balances light and dark areas, and leaves large amounts of negative space.
		While almost all other amphora painters depict the actual act of suicide in recounting this tale, Exekias characteristically shows instead the action leading up to the event.
		This act of preparation is what interested Exekias, the inexorable nature of fate, rather than the actual moment of death.

		On the other side of the vase, Dionysos, god of wine, is shown with his son Oinopion.

		Though the reverse of the vase was actually signed by Exekias as potter, and the whole piece surpasses the rest in technical refinement and proximity to Exekias, Beazley was cautious about attribution of the paintings.
		He concluded simply that most of the first list was by one painter and that Louvre F53 ‘and group E or part of it’ might eventually prove to be ‘early work of Exekias himself’.
