ART EVERY DAY NUMBER 268 / ILLUSTRATION / CYCLADIC IDOL
Art every day number 268 CYCLADIC IDOL is about the human form.
As depicted in Syros, Greece in 2500 BC.
“…these figures […] are highly stylized representations of the female human form, typically having a flat, geometric quality which gives them a striking resemblance to today’s modern art. However, this may be a modern misconception as there is evidence that the idols were originally brightly painted.[7] A majority of the figurines are female, depicted nude, and with arms folded across the stomach, typically with the right arm held below the left…” –Wikipedia / Cycladic Art
