"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary
"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary Archaic Greeks were well known for creating the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were made out of walls and pillars as reliefs. For the most part the statues, or kouros figures, were of young and nice-looking male or female (kore) Greeks. The kouroi, considered by the Greeks to symbolize beauty, had one foot extended out of a fixed forward-facing pose and the male statues were regularly nude, with a compelling, powerful shape. Around 650 BC, life-sized versions of the kouroi began to be seen. The Archaic period was an awesome time of change for the Greeks as they expanded into new forms of government, created novel expressions of art, and attained information of the men and women and cultures outside of Greece. Similar to many other times of historical conflict, disputes were common, and there were battles between city-states like The Arcadian wars, the Spartan invasion of Samos.
