This is a great time of prosperity that encourages the production of art of a more secular nature. A new reality emerges in Greek sculpture. Instead of depicting ideals such as logic and suppressed emotion or perfect beauty, the artists explore reality. Humane themes such as childhood, old age, ugliness, and suffering are now of interest and are treated with great exuberance and pathos.
The Laocoon is the epitome of this style. The Hellenistic period is above all a period of eclecticism. Artists expand their work with dramatic poses and emotions, sweeping lines, and high contrasts of light and shadow. The conventions of the Classical period give way to this new experimentation and freedom that let artists explore subjects from different points of view. Thursday, November 11, Sign in.

Greek Painted Pottery. New York: Routledge, Grant, Michael, and John Hazel. Who's Who in Classical Mythology. London: Dent, The Kouros statue was a common practice of Archaic Greek sculpture.
The figure portrayed is not a particular person, but an idealized youth. The figure is emotionless and still, both Archaic traits. Satyr Pouring Wine , Roman, Original: ca. This Classical statue has evolved into a more naturalistic pose, while retaining the idealized beauty of the Archaic sculptures.
The face is more realistic and begins to show traces of emotion. This Hellenistic piece is much more detailed than the works prior. Idealized beauty is still prominent, but it is displayed more dynamically through the "transparency" and "weight" of the marble. This Archaic head again shows the idealized form of a young man, but without any particular features of a specific person.
The face is just distinguishable from the marble, but it still lacks realism.
