"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary
"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary Archaic Greeks were renowned for providing the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were formed out of walls and pillars as reliefs.
Kouros figures, statues of young, good-looking male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the greater part of the sculptures. The kouroi, considered by the Greeks to exemplify beauty, had one foot extended out of a fixed forward-facing pose and the male statues were always nude, with a strong, powerful shape. The kouroi started to be life-sized commencing in 650 BC. During the Archaic time, a great time of changes, the Greeks were developing new types of government, expressions of art, and a deeper comprehension of people and cultures outside Greece. Throughout this time and other durations of historic tumultuousness, encounters often occurred, among them battles fought between city-states such as the Arcadian wars and the Spartan infiltration of Samos.

The kit will include a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). Depending on its size, the basin can normally be hidden quite easily amongst the plants. Other than the regular cleaning, little maintenance is required once your outdoor wall fountain is installed.
