The Major Characteristics of Classic Greek Sculpture
The Major Characteristics of Classic Greek Sculpture Archaic Greeks were well known for providing the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were made out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Youthful, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks were the subject matter of most of the sculptures, or kouros figures. The kouroi, considered by the Greeks to exemplify beauty, had one foot extended out of a strict forward-facing posture and the male figurines were always undressed, with a compelling, strong physique. In around 650 BC, the variations of the kouroi became life-sized. The Archaic period was turbulent for the Greeks as they evolved into more polished forms of government and art, and obtained more data about the peoples and civilizations outside of Greece. The Arcadian battles, the Spartan invasion of Samos, and other wars between city-states are good examples of the sorts of conflicts that occurred commonly, which is consistent with other times of historical transformation.Public Water Fountains in and Around Berkley, California
