Metropolitan Kouros

Abstract: 4 pages in length. The primary significance of kouroi, plural of the singular kouros, is its insignificance within the context of artistic meaning. Simply stated, this popular type of fifth century Archaic era sculpture is spectacular because of its commonness; standing as tall as the real beardless young men for whom they were created, kouroi's life size stature, marked nakedness, striking physique, anatomical detail (especially the broad, detailed chest) and three-dimensional are the first attributes noticed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
