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 160 works spanning 3,000 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.\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eScholarly essays illuminate the mysteries behind these ancient objects—providing cultural context, detailing the materials used, and uncovering traces of painted decoration not visible today. An eloquent reflection on the subtleties of artisanship during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, Cycladic Art attests to the power and relevance of Cycladic stone carving over the centuries. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccompanying an ongoing exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eSean Hemingway, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eJohn A. and Carole O.
