Between 2700 and 2400 B.C., ancient craftsman in the Cycladic Islands of Greece made marble figures of a level of abstraction and simplicity of form not to be seen again in art until the works of Brancusi and Modigliani in the 20th century. Author Colin Renfrew, the world's leading scholar on Cycladic culture, approaches his subject both as archaeologist and art historian, and seeks to explain what these people achieved and what their intentions were. As a work of archaeology, The Cycladic Spirit reveals the culture and aesthetics of a vanished civilization; as a work of art history, it develops a provocative argument about the persistence of a tendency towards abstraction in Western art.
