Colossal

From Ancient Greece to Giacometti

by

Peter Mason takes a bold, multidisciplinary approach in this account of the idea of the colossal in culture. He gathers instances of the colossal throughout history-including the obelisks of Egypt, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Roman Colosseum, the heads of the Olmecs, and the stone statues of Easter Island-using historical and archaeological evidence to position them within the context of time and culture.
