Symbolic significance of sculpture

The theme of sculpture creation is people-oriented, which is to express people's spiritual essence. Therefore, sculpture is suitable for expressing a profound and lofty positive image.

The symbolic significance of sculpture is expounded through sculpture works.

Most sculptures in ancient Greece are idealized images used to symbolize "God". In essence, the praise to God is the praise to idealism and heroism. At the same time, sculpture is difficult to describe in a complicated way, which requires simple image, making full use of the change of volume and rhythm, and endowing the works with symbolism and fable. It should be of far-reaching significance to arouse people's corresponding aesthetic associations. Sculpture often uses the human body to symbolize a certain thought, state, and express certain emotions and aesthetic concepts.

During the exhibition, women in Paris covered their eyes and said they were ugly. This work is made of bronze, which adds vicissitudes and sadness to the work. In art, works with character are beautiful, and this ugliness is much more beautiful than the sweetness of whitewashing. Rodin described an aging life heartily with modeling language, suggesting the vitality of the past, just like the lost years are gone forever. Up to now, Ou Mo has been widely appraised as a statue of "turning ugliness into beauty" in art.

It is symbolic and moral, shaping the image of a person staring down with his chin in his right hand. Bend your body into a ball. As if absorbed in thinking, immersed in distress. The prominent forehead and eyebrow arch made his eyes disappear into the shadows, which strengthened his expression of depression and meditation. His muscle tension, tight calf tendons and cramped toes strongly conveyed this painful emotion. This seemingly quiet and hidden power is even more thought-provoking.

Athena is the patron saint and goddess of wisdom of Athens. Originally used as the main statue of the Parthenon, it was 13 meters high, carved with silvery white marble, partly inlaid with ivory and gold, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the Byzantine Empire. Here is a small marble replica.

In this statue of the goddess, she wears a battle helmet and a Greek dress, and her chest protector and armor are decorated with snake-shaped ruffles and heads. Her bare arms, through the thin skirt, can see the plump and strong body; The pleat and decoration of the dress make the density of horizontal and vertical lines change beautifully; Her gesture may be holding a spear, and the whole image is full of femininity and life, more of humanity and less of divinity, which shows that art has moved towards secularization during the Hellenistic period.

Myths and legends:

Athena (ancient Greek:? θ? νη/? θην? , English: Athena), the legend is Zeus and the goddess of wisdom Metis ("μ? τι? "It means wisdom and thought".

Because Caia and Uranus predicted that Metis' son would overthrow Zeus, Zeus was afraid that the prediction would come true, so he swallowed Metis whole, and Zeus had a terrible headache afterwards. Zeus, the father of the man of God, had to ask hephaestus, the Vulcan, to open his head (Prometheus), and Vulcan did so. To the surprise of the Olympians, an elegant, persistent and beautiful goddess jumped out of her cracked head, radiant and graceful. It is said that she has the power of Zeus. She is the cleverest goddess and the perfect combination of wisdom and strength.

In this myth, Athena was born from the viewpoint of paternalism. Athena seems to be the continuation of Zeus and the executor of Zeus' will. She is the thought of Zeus at work. Metis's mother's identity gradually blurred, as if Athena was Zeus's life. Zeus got wisdom from Athena, just as he used to get wisdom from Metis. Athena is not only the most important god in Olympus mythology, but also as important as Zeus. Owls and snakes are symbols of Athena.
