Cycladic Art

Cycladic Art refers to the unique artistic style of the ancient Cycladic civilization in the Aegean Sea, particularly during the Early Bronze Age (around 3200-2000 BCE). It is characterized by minimalist, abstract marble sculptures, often representing human figures, especially female forms. These sculptures display a focus on simplicity and symmetry, with flat, curved shapes and minimal facial features. Cycladic Art also includes pottery and small artifacts, reflecting the islanders' aesthetic values and beliefs. The art provides insight into their culture, social structure, and possible religious practices, influencing later art movements, especially in modernism.
