Long Essay How does the representation of the human figure in a work of art express a culture's values? Select two works of art to analyze in your response. Be sure to include one work from beyond the European tradition. Form and content within depictions of the human figure often expresse perceived cultural beliefs. These beliefs and values have often varied between different cultures and time periods. For example, the Greek statue Doryphoros Spear Bearer portrays a warrior and athlete, while the Moche Mochica Portrait was used in burial rites. The Doryphoros Spear Bearer and Mochica Portrait, from completely different cultures and roughly similar periods, exemplify values and beliefs of their respective cultures through the representation of the human form.

The representation of the human figure in a culture?s artwork reflects the central values of the culture that artwork belongs to. A marble sculpture from the Greek Period, Kroisos, found in Anavyssos and made around 530 BC and a hand-painted ceramic Mochica Portrait vessel from around 400 AD both express an individual value system from each of their cultures. Kroisos, a marble statue from Greece, has many features that link him to the Greek values placed on the human body. This sculpture is idealized with defined muscles and natural proportions. The Greeks saw the human body as perfect. It was used in many and nearly all forms of art because it was seen as the center of all things and the ideal form of perfection.
