In this wide-ranging study, Richard Neer offers a new way to
understand the epoch-making sculpture of classical Greece. Working
at the intersection of art history, archaeology, literature, and
aesthetics, he reveals a people fascinated with the power of
sculpture to provoke wonder in beholders. Wonder, not accuracy,
realism, naturalism, or truth, was the supreme objective of Greek
sculptors. Neer traces this way of thinking about art from the
poems of Homer to the philosophy of Plato. Then, through meticulous
accounts of major sculpture from around the Greek world, he shows
how the demand for wonder-inducing statues gave rise to some of the
greatest masterpieces of Greek art.
