Archaic Greek Art: Large Statuary
Archaic Greek Art: Large Statuary The initial freestanding statuary was developed by the Archaic Greeks, a recognized accomplishment since until then the only carvings in existence were reliefs cut into walls and columns.
Youthful, ideal male or female (kore) Greeks were the subject matter of most of the sculptures, or kouros figures. The kouroi were seen by the Greeks to represent beauty and were sculpted with one foot leading and an uncompromising rigidity to their forward-facing poses; the male statues were always strapping, brawny, and naked. Life-sized versions of the kouroi appeared beginning in 650 BC. The Archaic period was an extraordinary point of transformation for the Greeks as they grew into new modes of government, formed novel expressions of art, and gained information of the men and women and cultures outside of Greece. Comparable to many other periods of historical unrest, disagreements were commonplace, and there were struggles between city-states like The Arcadian wars, the Spartan invasion of Samos.
