Statuary As a Staple of Classic Art in Archaic Greece

Statuary As a Staple of Classic Art in Archaic Greece The first freestanding statuary was developed by the Archaic Greeks, a notable success since until then the only carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and pillars. For the most part the statues, or kouros figures, were of adolescent and desirable male or female (kore) Greeks. The kouroi, regarded by the Greeks to exemplify beauty, had one foot stretched out of a fixed forward-facing posture and the male figurines were always nude, with a strong, powerful shape. The kouroi grew to be life-sized beginning in 650 BC. During the Archaic period, a big time of change, the Greeks were developing new types of government, expressions of art, and a larger comprehension of people and cultures outside Greece. But in spite of the issues, the Greek civilization went on to progress, unabated.
