Ancient Greek pottery
These decorative patterns are primitive and simple. The fire, earthenware and glaze of the pottery have a high level, which truly reflects the level of people's aesthetic concepts and social productivity in that era.
The centuries between the Homer era in the 8th century BC and the Hippo War in the 5th century BC are known as the period of ancient winds. Greek art in this period has achieved rapid development, and pottery has been freed from geometric figures. The shackles gradually absorbed the art forms of the eastern regions such as Egypt and the two river basins, and successively formed several pottery painting styles such as oriental style, black painting style, and red painting style. In the original Oriental style, motifs such as beast head figures and plant patterns appeared. sculpture
The ancient Greeks learned from the Egyptians the techniques of making bronze statues, sculpting stone statues, and building with stone. From poor imitation to creating superb art works of their own unique style, it only took more than 100 years. Since then, sculpture has become one of the most remarkable achievements of the ancient Greeks. The success of Greek sculpture was based on their careful observation and research of human body structure and movement patterns. By the end of the 6th century BC, they had produced life-like statues, which were more vivid and authentic than the works of the Egyptians. The statues of men in this period are exactly the same. Almost all of them are upright, their left legs are stretched forward, their arms are hanging beside them, their hands are fists, and their hair is braided and hung on both sides of the neck. Due to the unique religious view of the Greeks, that human bodies without clothes can better represent the perfection of man and god, so these statues of young men are generally expressed in a nude way, and are called "Apollo" by the Greeks. The same is to express the sacredness of the nude, the female sculptures of this period are all dressed. Regardless of the background of the statue in the ancient style, the facial expression always presents a uniform and eternal smile, and is called "ancient style smile" by future generations. |
