The artist expertly and intentionally utilized the natural veining of the stone to form the eyes, enhancing the figure's enigmatic expression. With its wide flat face and stylized nose and mouth, the piece echoes the minimalistic beauty of ancient Cycladic figures. Cycladic art, originating from the Cycladic islands in the Aegean Sea around 3000-2000 BCE, is renowned for its abstract and geometric simplicity. These iconic forms, characterized by their serene and enigmatic appearance, significantly influenced 20th-century Modernist artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore, and Pablo Picasso. These artists admired the Cycladic figures' reductive approach to human form, drawing inspiration for their own revolutionary works that emphasized purity of form and emotional expression through abstraction. less
