"At the dawn of European history, in the third millennium BC, the small Greek islands in the southern Aegean known as the Cyclades were home to a remarkable and distinctive culture. Among its most characteristic products were vessels and sculpted figures fashioned from the local marble, and today these Cycladic figurines are admired around the world. This concise introduction to Cycladic art puts the figurines and other objects into the context provided by current knowledge of early life in the islands."--Jacket.

First published in 1985, this ground-breaking book surveys the development of Cycladic sculpture produced by unidentified artists who worked in the Aegean islands forty-five hundred years ago. Illustrated with numerous objects from American collections—with particular emphasis on some two dozen pieces in the Getty Museum—this volume surveys the typological development of Early Cycladic sculpture and identifies, where possible, the work of individual sculptors. Newly revised and updated, this book is a concise introduction to the field.

Annotation "Personal Styles in Early Cycladic Sculpture represents the culmination of thirty-five years of study. Pat Getz-Gentle offers here much new material and many fresh insights into a tradition, rooted in the Neolithic period, that spanned most of the third millennium B.C. She begins with a review of this tradition, placing particular emphasis on the stages leading to the reclining figure with folded arms that is the unique and quintessential icon of the early Bronze Age culture at the center of the Aegean. She then focuses on the styles of fifteen sculptors, several of whom are identified and discussed for the first time in this volume. By introducing little-known pieces attributable to these sculptors, she illuminates various phases of their artistic development."--BOOK JACKET.

Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Cycladic culture is best known for its flat female idols carved out of the islands' pure white marble. This beautiful illustrated book explores these periods in Cycladic culture and how the natural environment of the islands shaped its art. It also addresses the settlements of these periods and the artifacts produced by their potters, marble-carvers, and metalworkers. Maps are interspersed throughout the text, along with a chronological table, plans of known settlements, cemeteries, and individual tombs, as well as photographs of archaeological digs and landscapes by well-known photographers. Items from the Museum's Collection are also presented, followed by commentary and comprehensive text that venture at the items' probable significance and functions.

The sculpture of the early bronze age Cyclades has been systematically studied since the time of Christos Tsountas at the end of the 19th century. But that study has been hampered by the circumstance that so many of the subsequent finds come from unauthorized excavations, where the archaeological context was irretrievably lost. Largely for that reason there are still many problems surrounding the chronology, the function and the meaning of Early Cycladic sculpture. This lavishly illustrated and comprehensive reassessment sets out to rectify that situation by publishing finds which have been recovered in controlled excavations in recent years, as well as earlier finds for which better documentation can now be provided. Using the material from recent excavation projects, and drawing on the papers presented at a symposium held in Athens in 2014, it is possible now to undertake a fresh overview of the entire body of sculpture from the Cycladic islands which has been found in secure archaeological contexts. Beginning with early examples from Neolithic settlement sites and extending into a consideration of material found in later contexts, the 35 chapters are divided into sections which examine sculpture from settlements, cemeteries and the sanctuary at Kavos, concluding with a discussion of material, techniques and aspects of manufacture.

Getz-Gentle (an independent scholar) has seen many of the examples that exist in the course of her career studying Cycladic sculpture. She presents in this volume a catalog of Cycladic sculpture which she has organized into stylistic categories based on formal analysis. The methods she used to arrive at her conclusions, as well as her theory of how the sculptures were produced are discussed at length. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

The N.P. Goulandris Collection of Early Cycladic art is the most notable in private hands and is unrivaled by any museum outside Greece. It contains over 200 objects, including many fine Cycladic figurines, as well as marble vessels, pottery and metalwork. The first Cycladic figurines acquired by travelers in Greece in the nineteenth century were described as 'rude','grotesque' and 'barbaric'. Yet now they are admired all over the world. They are the earliest sculptures from Greek Iands, but their simple form and purity of line speak directly to the modern eye. The introductory chapters by Professors, Renfrew and Doumas survey the historical and cultural background to the Collection, and discuss styles, materials and techniques. A short essay by Dr. P. Getz-Preziosi introduces a sculptor who created masterpieces over four thousand years ago. Three of his finest works are in the Collection and he is now known as the Goulandris Master. Christos Doumas is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Athens. He has worked in the Cyclades for many years, and has had a long and close association with the Goulandris Collection, which he was the first to catalogue in 1968.
