The Defining Characteristics of Classic Greek Statuary

The Defining Characteristics of Classic Greek Statuary The first freestanding statuary was designed by the Archaic Greeks, a recognized success since until then the only carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and pillars. For the most part the statues, or kouros figures, were of adolescent and desirable male or female (kore) Greeks. Regarded as by Greeks to represent beauty, the kouroi were shaped into firm, forward facing poses with one foot outstretched, and the male statues were always nude, brawny, and athletic. The kouroi started to be life-sized beginning in 650 BC.Defining Characteristics Classic Greek Statuary 8955152390.jpg During the Archaic time, a big time of changes, the Greeks were developing new types of government, expressions of art, and a larger awareness of people and cultures outside Greece. The Arcadian battles, the Spartan invasion of Samos, and other wars between city-states are examples of the types of conflicts that occurred frequently, which is consistent with other times of historical transformation.
