"Pericles had a vision for Athens, and “he became a patron of philosophy and the arts,” so he put a lot of emphasis on the visual arts in hopes to create a “physical setting which would symbolize and be a part of Athens greatness” (Pollitt pg. 65)." - Julie H.
"Which means “to think of sculptures not only as hard, ‘real” objects known by touch and by measurement but also as impressions as something which is in the process of change, a part of the flux of experience, bounded not by solidity and ‘hard edges’ but by flickering shadows and almost undiscernable transitions” (Pollit pg. 69)."- Kate H.
"According to Pericles in his funeral oration, he wants to give merit to the “greatness of Athens,” and how he wants to show the rest of the Greece that Athens is, “ contending for a higher prize than those who enjoy none of these privileges.”"- Emily G.
