THE ART OF THE MUNDANEThe portrayal of life in the art of New
Kingdom Egypt and Hellenistic Greece
OSTRAKA (SKETCHES)
FROM EGYPT
Dynamic Art
FROM EGYPT
Despite a traditionally rigid style, the art of New Kingdom Egypt displays volumes of personality and
energy with a distinct illustrative heart.
The Art of Hellenistic Greece is similar in dynamism. These artists were concerned with motion and
grotesque reality over the idealism of the Classical Age.
These bronzes are
full of energy and
the suggestion of a greater context that speaks to us
of life in Ancient Greece.
Though separated by cultural and stylistic conventions, both
New Kingdom Egypt and Hellenistic
Greece produced artwork with great
energy and tension, displaying not only a concern with motion and storytelling, but with portraying life
as they saw it.
