Archaic Sculpture 600-480 BC

Archaic Sculpture The Kouros (male) statues dominate the Archaic period of Greek Art There are Kore (female) statues Used as decorations for religious buildings Artist’s and art patron's names begin to appear carved on some sculptures Influence: Archaic Greek art was influenced by ancient Egypt as commerce between the two countries flourished.

ARCHAIC SCULPTURE Characteristics: The frontal pose Left foot extended forward Arms attached or close to the hips Rigid pose Mysterious smile

Archaic Sculpture Facts: Kouros (male) sculptures presented nude Kore (female) sculptures always clothed Early archaic sculpture lacks the “smile” Other characteristics of the Kouroi: Stocky build Bearded Beaded hair style Greater detail in arms smile

Archaic Sculpture Early Archaic: Early Archaic, no smile Early Archaic

Archaic Sculpture Later Archaic period: Rampin Horseman (c. 550 BC). The horseman wears a wreath of wild celery, the prize awarded to victors in the Crown Games at Isthmia and Nemea. The slight incline of the head perhaps represents an early rebellion against the strict bilateral symmetry of the kouroi Traces of paint are preserved on the eyes The number of abdominal striations is correct, and they are carved more convincingly than before

Archaic Sculpture Kouros from Anavyssos, Attica (c. 530 BC) Later Archaic Period Used as a grave marker Inscribed Epitaph: “Stand and pity at the tomb of dead Croesus, whom brutal Ares slew fighting in the front rank of battle”. Beaded hairstyle frontal gaze archaic smile (though diminished). Advances: more realistic rendering of anatomical detail.

Archaic Sculpture Method: Sculptor worked almost exclusively with "point" chisels, punches and stone abrasives to create the statues As a result of this technique, all marble statues from the Archaic period have an opaque (not clear) appearance This is a result of the repeated vertical blows to the surface with a point chisel which sends concentrated shock waves deep inside the stone, shuttering thus the marble crystals in considerable depth. All statues of ancient Greece were in fact painted with vivid colors and the technique of the vertical blows actually keyed the surface for the pigments.
