Description

L'Occident a longtemps vécu sur une image de la Grèce antique faussée par l'humanisme renaissant qui, projetant sur un passé lointain ses propres idéaux, en déformait le sens ou en limitait la portée. Depuis un siècle, archéologues, historiens et philosophes ont fait éclater cette notion d'une civilisation où tout aurait été régi par la perfection et le classicisme.Et, remontant aux sources crétoises, mycéniennes, doriennes, démontrer que sans elles le miracle grec n'aurait pas existé. Et donner à cette histoire une ampleur autres en la faisant courir du monde cycladique au monde hellénistique.Pour retrouver l'art grec dans toute sa plénitude, il aura fallu cesser de le voir à travers l'écran déformant des copies romaines, ce qui fut le cas jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. Comme aura été nécessaire toute une série de découvertes retentissantes, des fouilles de Schliemann en 1870 aux récentes trouvailles de Riace ou Derveni, qui permirent de retrouver les oeuvres majeures sans lesquelles l'art grec demeure incompréhensible ou mutilé.Des idoles cycladiques à la Vénus de Milo, de l'art géométrique aux formes visant à l'universel par leur conformité à un idéal où "l'homme est la mesure de toutes choses", des dieux aux philosophes, de la politique à l'histoire, toute la grande aventure grecque revit dans cet ouvrage qui renouvelle l'approche et la vision de l'art grec.
