Includes bibliographical references (p. 142-143). The male body beautiful -- The female body -- The divine body -- Heroes and monsters -- The face -- Character and realism. "The marble, bronze, and terra-cotta sculptures presented in this volume--outstanding highlights drawn from over six centuries of artistic production--demonstrate the diversity of Greek figural forms, from the idealized beauty of the Classical era to the individualized portraits of the Hellenistic period. Large, stunning details testify to the artists' skills in portraying cold, hard materials as warm, human flesh."--BOOK JACKET. |
