Myron

Sculpture is closely related to life. Sculpture is the sustenance of the most simple ideal and vision of mankind. Sculpture before the 4th century A.D. carries the most beautiful and simple childlike happiness and expectation of mankind. The sculptors recorded in human history and those who left no surname are the pioneers who work silently and are the dream-seekers in human childhood

Miron, who lived in the 5th century BC, is the most important artist in the early classical period of Greece. His sculptures are realistic, and his works can often capture the most vivid dynamic figures. His main sculptures include marble sculptures such as the discus thrower and Athena.

The statue of the discus thrower is recognized as the classic of the artistic image of the Olympic movement. It is also a symbol of good health. At the moment when a strong athlete swings the discus, the sculptor catches the most powerful moment of the discus thrower with keen observation, which is a typical "moment". Although the sculpture is tense in form, the whole statue gives a sense of calm and stability. Take a close look at the movement of the athlete. He bends like an elastic, and stands on the ground with his feet flat and steadily, extending his hand with the discus to the rear. As long as the moment, his spring-like body will immediately straighten, and the discus will fly away from him. The composition of this statue sums up the complex and contradictory movements into a few vivid and convincing gestures, which give people a sense of concentration and concentration. This visual effect was not available before this era.

The discus thrower excellently summarized the whole continuous process of the discus throw movement, and showed a kind of beauty of movement and harmonious ideal posture. The sculptor shows timeliness in a fixed space, and the whole artistic image is beautiful and moving. The muscles were tight, the blood was surging, and the expression was grim, as if all the strength and soul of the athletes were concentrated on the discus that was about to be thrown. The public's eyes also moved. The discus thrower sculpture has broken away from the requirement of "art" to serve power and wealth, and gradually entered the aesthetic and vision of serving the common people and the public.
