Greek Art and Aesthetics in the Fourth Century B.C. analyzes the
broad character of art produced during this period, providing
in-depth analysis of and commentary on many of its most notable
examples of sculpture and painting. Taking into consideration
developments in style and subject matter, and elucidating
political, religious, and intellectual context, William A. P.
Childs argues that Greek art in this era was a natural outgrowth of
the high classical period and focused on developing the rudiments
of individual expression that became the hallmark of the classical
in the fifth century. As Childs shows, in many respects the art of
this period corresponds with the philosophical inquiry by Plato and
his contemporaries into the nature of art and speaks to the
contemporaneous sense of insecurity and renewed religious devotion.
Delving into formal and iconographic developments in sculpture and
painting, Childs examines how the sensitive, expressive quality of
these works seamlessly links the classical and Hellenistic periods,
with no appreciable rupture in the continuous exploration of the
human condition. Another overarching theme concerns the nature of
"style as a concept of expression," an issue that becomes more
important given the increasingly multiple styles and functions of
fourth-century Greek art. Childs also shows how the color and form
of works suggested the unseen and revealed the profound character
of individuals and the physical world.
