Inhalt
To the ancient Greeks the human body in sculpture was both an object of sensory delight and an expression of an intelligent mind. From the abstract simplicity of prehistoric Cycladic figurines to later realism, sculptors gave form to thought in a rich harvest of artworks that have had a profound influence upon western visual culture. Through photographs and close-up views, this book explores the subject of the body in ancient Greece, drawing on the British Museum's collection of marble, bronze and terracotta sculptures. The mention of the ancient Greeks is likely to conjure up an image of idealized and naked youth. However, in later Greek art especially, sculptors became increasingly interested in human diversity, experimenting with the representation of ethnicity, age and character.
