Little is known about these enigmatic and mesmerizing objects, which have inspired generations of modern artists, from Constantin Brancusi and Pablo Picasso to Amedeo Modigliani and Henry Moore. This book presents more than 150 works spanning three thousand years (5300-2200 BCE), including small marble sculptures, metalwork, stone and terracotta vessels, and an astonishing four-foot-long reclining female figure that represents one of the few monumental Early Cycladic statues to survive. Scholarly essays illuminate the mysteries behind these ancient objects--providing cultural context, detailing the materials and techniques used, and uncovering traces of painted decoration not visible today. An eloquent reflection on the subtleties of craftsmanship during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, \u003ci\u003eCycladic Art\u003c\/i\u003e attests to the power and relevance of Cycladic stone carving over the centuries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metropolitan Museum of Art New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588397973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320","brand":"Se\u0026#195;\u0026#161;n Hemingway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537462784181,"sku":"9781588397973","price":55.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8dec63d2-3870-48ce-87ff-156cbb551b53.jpg?v=1779169663","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cycladic-art-9781588397973","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
