Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greek Sculpture is probably the most well known aspect of Greek art, for a contemporary it expresses the most beautiful ideal and plastic perfection. It is the first of the Ancient Arts that looked to free itself from the imitative constraints, of the faithful representation of nature. Only a small part of the production of Greek Sculpture is known to us. Many of the masterpieces described by Antique literature are henceforth lost or badly damaged, and a large part, we know are copies, more or less skillful and faithful to the Roman era. Many have been restored by Western Sculptors, from the Renaissance to nowadays, and often in a meaning very different from the original work: a discobolous is thus turned into a dying gladiator, this god received the attributes of another, the legs of this statue are transplanted to the torso of this other one. “The soul of Greek Sculpture contains in it all sculpture. Its essential simplicity, defies all definition. We can feel it, but we can not express it. ‘Open your eyes, study the statues, look, reflect and look again,’ is the perpetual perception of anyone who wants to learn or know about Greek Sculpture.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE NEWCOMERS AND THEIR ART. THE INVASION OF THE NORTHERNERS. 1500 ( ?)-IOOo (?) B.C. Shadowy as is this kingdom of Minos which looms as the dim background of Mediterranean history, we are yet able to follow its development through something of the vicissitudes which characterize the life of all nations. There was ebb and flow, stagnation and revival, in the long course of its development. Conspicuous among these revivals was a brief period of splendor which began about fifteen hundred years before Christ. It is significant that this revival coincides with the rule of the Eighteenth Dynasty in Egypt, when the mighty Thutmes carried the arms and the fame of Egypt to the Euphrates and his ships were seen on all seas. Busy was the traffic between Cnossus and Memphis at that time, and perhaps this alone suffices to account for the new lease of life which was then granted to the long fossilized Egean civilization. Certain it is that it again became robust and creative, though perhaps less certain of its ideals than in the earlier time. From this period date the wonderful beehive tombs of Mycenae, second only to the Pyramids as resting places of the great dead. At this time, too, Mycenae was enlarged, and its walls rebuilt in wider circuit, with hewn stone now, instead of unshaped blocks, and with the famous Lion Gate as its entrance. So creative is this new age that we are loath to attribute the change merely to new opportunities and outside stimulus. To some, such a change can only be accounted for by an infusion of new blood. Whether the new blood came at this time or not, it is certain that in the course of the next five hundred years the JEgean civilization was first annoyed, then endangered and finallyoverwhelmed by the irruption of comparatively uncivilized t...

Download or read book Greek Art written by Robert Manuel Cook and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 1991 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of classical and Hellenistic Greece created an aesthetic canon which remained a constant in Western art. In this book the author examines the origins of this tradition - the art of the Greek world between the geometric period of the early Iron Age and the conquest of Greece by the Romans in the first century BC. He also looks at all the art forms: vase painting, picture painting, sculpture, metalwork, architecture and interior decoration, tracing the development of each from the beginning. Close analysis of selected works, and detailed descriptions of the methods and materials used, give the reader an insight into the characteristics of each succeeding style, while a chapter on the historical background puts the development of Greek art into the context of the rest of the ancient world.
Download or read book Greek Art written by Mark D. Fullerton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since antiquity, the period from 480 to 323 BC in Greece has been considered to be the high point, the Classical era, of Hellenic culture. At that time, the values and customs of ancient Greece received an especially lucid expression in the visual arts. In this new overview, the political, social, and religious functions of Greek art are given fresh life, with chapters focusing on issues such as the relationship between visual narrative and history; the role of artistic style in the construction of meaning; and how personal and communal identity was carried by the imagery on intricately decorated pottery and jewelry, naturalistic wall-paintings, and public buildings across the Greek world. Using the Parthenon as a paradigm monument, Mark Fullerton examines the principles of classical sculpture, architecture, and painting to explore all phases of Greek art from its birth around 900 BC to its incorporation into the art of the Roman Empire. Combining the latest archaeological discoveries with new scholarly methods, Fullerton presents a history of Greek art and the idea of the classical through a range of media and materials, including Archaic statues from the Aegean islands, the gold and ivory of Macedonia, to the great Hellenistic monuments of the Greek east. Mark D. Fullerton is Professor and Chairperson in the Department of History of Art at the Ohio State University. His research centers on Roman, Greek, and Hellenistic sculpture and he has published work on Roman art.
