Archaic Greek Artwork: Outdoor Statuary

Archaic Greeks were renowned for developing the first freestanding statuary; up until then, most carvings were made out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Kouros figures, sculptures of adolescent, attractive male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the bulk of the sculptures. The kouroi, viewed by the Greeks to symbolize beauty, had one foot extended out of a fixed forward-facing pose and the male figurines were regularly undressed, with a compelling, strong shape. The kouroi became life-sized beginning in 650 BC. Throughout the Archaic time, a big time of change, the Greeks were developing new types of government, expressions of art, and a better awareness of people and cultures outside Greece. During this time and other durations of historic tumultuousness, encounters often took place, including wars fought amongst city-states such as the Arcadian wars and the Spartan invasion of Samos.
