For the Temple of the Greeks by Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925-2006) is a print on card that resembles a side view of a ship blueprint. Combining textual elements with the image, Finlay labels different elements of the ship with a key in reference to the different types of classical columns. The quote presented at the bottom references the neoclassical theme of consistently looking back from modernism towards more classical traditions. 

Finaly's work was well known in combining elements from modern life with classical traditions and themes, presenting the central focus of neoclassism throughout his work. He also often referenced war in relation to classical traditions, connecting modern warfare to the warfare of the ancient Greeks. This work was done in partnership with Michael Harvey, who was an English lettering artist. 

Ian Hamilton Finlay CBE, 1925-2006

Although he studied at Glasgow School of Art, Finlay’s first creative success was as a writer. His discovery of concrete poetry in the 1960s was a major breakthrough in his practice and he began to produce booklets, posters, and wall-mounted works combining text and form. Major works of conceptual sculpture using text were produced by craftsmen to his specifications. Drawing on ideas from classical philosophy and the French Revolution, he began to exhibit widely and was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1985. His garden at Little Sparta in the Pentland Hills, begun in 1966 and now looked after by a trust, is considered to be the finest manifestation of his work.
