Throughout the whole complex body of phenomena that constitute the history of Greek sculpture we can trace a great underlying struggle to establish complete harmony between form and matter, between the subject and the language in which it is expressed, between the thought and the stone. In the remnants of the Archaic Period we are oppressed by a sense of the obtrusion of the material on our vision, to the detriment of the idea to be expressed. Again, in the Period of Decline, brilliant though this decline must be admitted to have been, we are oppressed by the presence...
