Attributes of Outdoor Statues in Archaic Greece
Attributes of Outdoor Statues in Archaic Greece The initial freestanding statuary was developed by the Archaic Greeks, a recognized success since until then the only carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and columns. Most of these freestanding sculptures were what is known as kouros figures, statues of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks.
The kouroi were believed by the Greeks to represent beauty and were sculpted with one foot leading and an uncompromising stiffness to their forward-facing poses; the male statues were always strapping, brawny, and unclothed. In 650 BC, life-sized forms of the kouroi began to be seen. Throughout the Archaic period, a great time of changes, the Greeks were developing new types of government, expressions of art, and a larger comprehension of people and cultures outside Greece. Nonetheless, the Greek civilization was not slowed down by these battles.
