Why another publication on Greek sculpture, you might wonder. The book you hold in your hands is the result of an effort to approach the works of modern Greek sculpture from a different perspective, especially those that are part of the public space and which are in a continuous, albeit subconscious, daily communication with us.
Could the sculptures speak to us about the era and society that birthed them? The extensive excerpts from the 19th and 20th-century press that are presented in the pages of the book, the references to artists and works, as well as the comparisons with corresponding academic or modern European works, and also with those of Greek, mainly, antiquity, provide a positive answer to the question.
The analyses of some of these function more as syntactic exercises in a different, visual, text that we are far more familiar with than we imagine. We usually accumulate "whys?" when we come into contact with art. Often we end up with a big question mark. In the pages of this book, there is an attempt to provide answers to some of these.
