Greek art
For the Greeks a new vision of human form was the central subject of the visual arts and thereby became a carrier and deliverer of values and norms of society, an example of the search for the exemplary human being--for his qualities and social standing. In every century the depiction of the human being in Greek art was the mirror image of how the Greeks saw themselves.--From publisher description.
