Pottery is a necessity and export commodity of ancient Greeks, which has practical and aesthetic significance. Greek pottery has always been popular in three artistic styles: oriental style, black painting style and red painting style. Oriental style refers to a popular ceramic art from the 7th century BC to the 6th century BC. Because it is exported to the east, considering the aesthetics and practicality of orientals, it mainly uses decorative patterns of animals and plants, and sometimes directly uses oriental patterns. Secondly, it enhances the interest of decoration and forms patterns on animals and plants. Black painting style refers to pottery depicting characters and decorative patterns on red or tan clay tires with a special black pigment. Red painting style is the opposite of black painting style, that is, the figures, animals and various patterns painted on pottery are all red, while the background is black. Therefore, it is also called the red style. Popular from the end of 6th century BC to the end of 4th century BC. The advantage of this style lies in the flexible use of various lines to depict the dynamic expressions of characters and give full play to the expressive force of lines. It is said that this style was completed by Ando Kidess of Attica. Before the 8th century BC, the art of Greek painting developed in the association with the oriental nationalities along the Asian coast. Although the pottery bottles in Duplomb cemetery in the 8th century BC have shown the touching characteristics of bottle painting, their golden age is still in the ancient Greek style and early classical period (about 650 BC-about 480 BC). Greek bottle painting has experienced two main stages of development: black painting and red painting. The image on the black painting bottle is black, while the image on the red painting bottle is auburn. In addition to many bottle painters who didn't leave their names, some people's names have been handed down, such as the famous black painter Ek Secchia (active in the second half of the 6th century BC) and Psyche (active in the second half of the 6th century BC). The famous red painter Orronius (active from about 520 BC to about 500 BC) and so on. This is the personal name of the first creator in the history of painting that we have described so far. Greek pottery bottle art occupies an important position in the history of art, which is not the special material of pottery bottle, but the honor won by pottery bottle painting. After the middle of the 6th century BC, Athens pottery bottle once monopolized the foreign market. Its symmetrical and harmonious proportion, exquisite craftsmanship, vivid modeling, realistic technique, idealistic style, full composition, dramatic plot and rich aristocratic aesthetic feeling. Greek bottle paintings mostly use black and red. In the early days, red as the background color and black as the image were called "black fancy"; It appeared in the fifth century BC, with black as the background and light red as the image, which is called "safflower style". The accuracy of depicting people or animals is surprising. But the lines themselves remain the same, which is different from China's paintings. Chinese painting lines attach great importance to their own aesthetic taste and style. In the classical period (about 480 BC-323 BC), there was also a bottle painting with a white background, and the works nicknamed "painter Achilles" represented the style of this bottle painting. From black painting to red painting and then to white painting, it embodies the pursuit of ancient Greek painters. The development and changes fully reflect that they regard painting as a mirror and want to reproduce the natural form, so that viewers can look at the painted images and feel similar to real things and scenes. This attitude and way of imitating nature and reappearing objects has become one of the basic characteristics of ancient Greek art, which has had a far-reaching impact on the development of European and western painting. Ancient Greek painting and ancient oriental painting complement each other and together form a colorful artistic landscape. People can see the sketch level of ancient Greek art at that time from the preserved ancient Greek bottle paintings. There are three styles of ancient Greek bottle painting. In the early days, it was a black image, that is, an image outlined by lines, painted black on a white background, like a silhouette. In the later stage, it is called red image type, that is, contrary to black type, the background is filled with black glaze and the image is left blank (blank is the red surface of pottery, so it is called red image type). Later, it was developed to use bottle painting with line drawing. These bottle paintings are simple and beautiful in shape and rigorous in structure, which are themselves masterpieces of sketches.
