Statuary As a Staple of Vintage Art in Archaic Greece
Statuary As a Staple of Vintage Art in Archaic Greece Archaic Greeks were well known for creating the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were constructed out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Kouros figures, statues of young, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the greater part of the statues. Representing beauty to the Greeks, the kouroi were made to look stiff and commonly had foot forward; the males were vigorous, strong, and nude. The kouroi became life-sized starting in 650 BC. Throughout the Archaic period, a great time of change, the Greeks were evolving new types of government, expressions of art, and a larger understanding of people and cultures outside Greece. And yet these disputes did not stop the expansion of the Greek civilization. {Environmentally Friendly Fountains
