Sculpture Staple Vintage Art Ancient Greece 195549429272.jpg Sculpture As a Staple of Vintage Art in Ancient Greece Archaic Greeks were well known for creating the first freestanding statuary; up till then, most carvings were formed out of walls and pillars as reliefs. Most of the freestanding statues were of young, winsome male or female (kore) Greeks and are referred to as kouros figures. The kouroi, viewed by the Greeks to represent beauty, had one foot stretched out of a fixed forward-facing posture and the male figurines were regularly nude, with a strong, strong shape. Around 650 BC, life-size variations of the kouroi began to be observed. During the Archaic time, a big time of change, the Greeks were developing new forms of government, expressions of art, and a larger awareness of people and cultures outside Greece. Throughout this time and other periods of historical tumult, encounters often took place, most notably battles fought between city-states such as the Arcadian wars and the Spartan infiltration of Samos.
