"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Garden Statuary
"Primitive" Greek Artwork: Garden Statuary
The first freestanding statuary was improved by the Archaic Greeks, a distinguished accomplishment since until then the only carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and pillars. Most of the freestanding statues were of youthful, winsome male or female (kore) Greeks and are called kouros figures. The kouroi, viewed by the Greeks to symbolize beauty, had one foot extended out of a fixed forward-facing pose and the male statues were always unclothed, with a strong, strong shape. The kouroi grew to be life-sized beginning in 650 BC. A significant age of improvement for the Greeks, the Archaic period helped bring about more forms of state, expressions of art, and a higher appreciation of people and customs outside of Greece. The Arcadian wars, the Spartan penetration of Samos, and other wars between city-states are good examples of the kinds of battles that emerged commonly, which is consistent with other times of historical change.
