Elbows Out
Elbows Out ( splayed elbows ) is called an Attic black-figure vase painter, active around 550/540 - 520 BC. In Athens .
He got his emergency name because of the exaggerated gestures and the strange anatomy of his dancing figures. Together with the Affecter , he is counted among the black-figure mannerists . He painted, for example, the rim of bowls (and is one of the minor masters ) and neck amphorae . The latter had a special shape with a heavy, egg-shaped body. He decorated the amphorae with several friezes. His ribbon shells are reminiscent of Tleson and Lydos , but the animal depiction remains more within the framework of the normal. He also painted a Lydion , which was very rarely made by Attic potters. He rarely showed mythological scenes, but liked to depict love scenes. He is often associated not only with the affecter but also with the Amasis painter , but above all the connection with the Amasis painter must not be overestimated.
