Archaic Sculpture
New York Kouros c 580 BCE

• Rise in monumental sculpture around 650 BC-
  probably based on visits to Egypt- there were
  colonies of Greeks in Egypt
• early sculpture similar to Egyptians-
• More primitive than Egyptian statues
• Innovative-truly free-standing- Egyptian
  sculptures had stone between legs
• Not a question of technique but of artistic
  intention!
