| | Art in Ancient Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As for the Archaic period of Greek art, painted pottery and sculpture are almost the only forms of art which have survived in any quantity. | | | Ancient Greek art has survived most successfully in the forms of sculpture and architecture, as well as in such minor arts as coin design, pottery and gem engraving. | | | Greek painters and sculptors were craftsmen who learned their trade as apprentices, often being apprenticed to their fathers, and who were then hired by wealthy patrons. |

| | The precision and harmony of the painting on this pottery foretell the character of later Greek art. | | | Greek artists were the first to establish mimesis (imitation of nature) as a guiding principle for art, even as Greek philosophers debated the intellectual value of this approach. | | | The stories told in Greek art and literature of gods and heroes have been retold ever since and continue to form a common ground for the art, literature, and even popular culture of the Western world. |

| | Such greatness of art, literature, philosophy, and government set a standard for the civilizations that came after. | | | By studying the development of the human figure in Greek sculpture, we can see the perfection of naturalistic art emerging from the chrysalis of what went before. | | | "What was then produced in art and thought has never been surpassed and very rarely equalled," wrote the classicist Edith Hamilton, "and the stamp of it is on all the art and all the thought of the Western world." |

| | The art of the minoans speak of a society of joyous disposition, in touch with their environment, and in awe of the logical order of the natural world. | | | They are depicted standing in a frontal pose with their left leg moved forward, their arms close to their bodies touching the side of their thighs, and they exhibit an almost strict symmetry as the different parts of the anatomy are depicted as simple geometric forms. | | | What has survived to our day from Minoan art provides insight into the culture that flourished in Crete during Prehistoric times. |

| | A tragic actor contemplates his mask; from a vase-painting of the late fourth century B.C. The eyes, mouth, and hair styles of the actor's mask are clearly realistic, not at all stylized; the exaggerated masks and costumes often associated with ancient Greek theater clearly belong to a later period. | | | Then, as now, "morphing" was a feature of dramatic art. | | | Whether or not such costumes perpetuate the use of animal disguises in certain early religious ceremonies, the assumption of animal forms by humans is one of the curious and recurring features of Old Comedy. |
