The white marble island of Paros has been one of the most important centers for ancient sculptural art since the 6th century BC. This volume provides for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the archaic sculpture of Paros with reference to new findings. Based on works of proven origin which have been included in a detailed catalog, this book presents the specific stylistic characteristics of Parian sculpture. In addition, previously established criteria are reviewed and expanded using methods of comparative stylistic analysis. The partly surprising results on the use of form in Parian workshops provide new perspectives on the diversity and complexity of archaic artistic landscapes and demand reassessment of this much-discussed phenomenon. German text.

German description: Die Marmorinsel Paros ist seit dem 6. Jahrhundert v. Chr. eines der wichtigsten Zentren der antiken Bildhauerkunst. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird erstmals eine umfassende Untersuchung der archaischen Skulptur von Paros unter Berucksichtigung neuerer Funde unternommen. Ausgehend von Werken gesicherter Herkunft, die in einem detaillierten Katalog aufgenommen sind, werden die spezifischen Stilmerkmale parischer Plastik herausgearbeitet und die bisher etablierten Kriterien mit der Methode der vergleichenden Stilanalyse uberpruft und erweitert. Die daraus resultierenden, teils uberraschenden Ergebnisse zur Formsprache der parischen Werkstatten eroffnen neue Perspektiven auf die Vielfalt und Komplexitat der archaischen Kunstlandschaften und fordern zum Uberdenken dieses vieldiskutierten Phanomens auf.

Darüber hinaus bietet sie aufgrund einer detaillierten stilistischen Behandlung ein umfassendes Bild der Aktivität der parischen Bildhauerwerkstatt in archaischer Zeit - eine grundlegende Arbeit, die lange Zeit für die Erforschung der archaischen Plastik unentnehrlich bleiben wird.“<br/><br/>Von: Aliki Moustaka<br/>In: Bonner Jahrbücher (Sonderdruck), Band 215 (2015), S. 426-427.
