16. The main difference in appearance between Archaic Greek
sculpture and the Classical styles lies in the poses. Typically,
most types of Archaic statue were constructed of four strictly
frontal or profile elevations and, though usually one leg was
advanced and the other drawn back, the left and right halves
of the body were rigidly symmetrical. Classical statues are still
broadly four-square in design, but the balance of the standing
figure is shifted so that the axis of the body becomes a long
double curve, and to mitigate frontality the head (except in
cult statues) is turned regularly towards the side.
