Segal's "Blue Woman in Black Chair" vs. Greek "Athena Lemnia"

average essay, did require much time nice job, needs more formal art elements mentioned Segal's Blue Woman in Black Chair vs. Greek Athena Lemnia         George Segal's Blue Woman in Black Chair and the Greek sculpture Athena Lemnia are freestanding sculptures created in different cultures at different times and through different sculpting procedures, but still have several things in common.

The more realistic appearing Greek sculpture conducts more of a divine or godlike feeling, and the somewhat more abstract and recent sculpture conveys a secular or worldly impression. They both reflect the ideas and ideals of art in the culture which produced them, and still invoke feelings and emotions in the people who view them.
