Synopsis
This book analyzes how humans sought to portray emotion in ancient Greek art forms. Many of the representative examples are sculptures, some of which are still extant and others only existing as copies. The author argues that the expressions on the faces of these representations do not always correspond to how the emotions would be conveyed in the present day. Instead, the author demonstrates the artists at the time were limited by the technology, tools, and artistic norms of the period. For instance, serenely smiling expressions on funerary urns might be mistaken for melancholy by a modern viewer, but in fact, they symbolized peace. The author traces the evolution of artistic attempts to capture emotion in a three-dimensional form, from simple attempts at conveying mood in the Archaic period to the somewhat more sophisticated attempts in the Hellenistic period. This book offers a fascinating look at the development of expression in ancient art, providing an informative perspective on the art of the period for students and general readers alike.
