Greek statue - Archaic Period
The archaic period of art from the 9th century to the 6th century BCE saw the first developments of Greek statuary. Kouros (male nudes) and kore (female nudes) were developed along the lines of the Egyptian style in terms of rigidity, but the movement and the freestanding nude are Archaic innovations. A distinctive feature on nearly every Archaic-era statue is the Archaic smile. Examples of archaic era works are the La Delicatta kore, the Attican Kouros, and the caryatid porch of the Siphnian Treasury.
The creation of the Kritios Boy in the late Archaic period heralded the arrival of the early Classical period. Specifically, the Kritios Boy used a mathematical analysis of the ideal proportions of the body to create a specialized pose called the contrapposto, which involved an asymmetrical balance from the center and the curving of the body in a s-shape.
