Greek Influences.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The philosophy in classical Greece which
influenced three dimensional art forms of the
period, could be summed up in the words of
Protagoras: man is the measure of all things.
This combined with other philosophers' emphasis on
rational inquiry, and challenging the status quo,
created a society of intellectual and artistic
risk takers. Just as man's dignity and worth were
central Greek concepts, the human figure was the
principal motif in Greek art and architecture, in
both, it reflected a similar respect for balance.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.
