Polykeitos in the Doryphoros created a work that advanced Athenian art beyond the early Athenian Classical Riace Warriors, through abstraction, to an object that manifested the High Athenian Classical embrace of:
idealism [an inferior physical object that results from fixing aim on the conceptual model for man as Plato conceived it]
rationalism [the creation of a work based upon ideal mathematical systems and as a reflection of functional, in this instance, life-like mechanical systems]
humanism [a celebration of the nude human body as a reflection of ordinary citizen’s human agency, rational capacities and striving towards the ideal]
Apply this argument to describe a work of your choosing from our Met trip that embodies or varies from these principles
additionally, use FingestenArtJournal1961.pdf
to discuss how Mondrian, rejecting the physical world in response to troubling circumstances in Europe between World Wars, made manifest a radically autonomous abstraction that as a Modern work still reflects Athenian classical principles
