The armed warrior, the chariot, and the horse are the most familiar symbols of the Geometric period. Iconographically, Geometric images are difficult to interpret due to the lack of inscriptions and the scarcity of identifying attributes.
Geometric art is a phase of Greek art, characterized largely by geometric motifs in vase painting, that flourished towards the end of the Greek Dark Ages and a little later, c. 1050–700 BC. Its center was in Athens, and from there the style spread among the trading cities of the Aegean. [1]
Geometric style, style of ancient Greek art, primarily of vase painting, that began about 900 bc and represents the last purely Mycenaean-Greek art form that originated before the influx of foreign inspiration by about 800 bc. Athens was its centre, and the growing moneyed population of new Greek.
Geometric art represents a foundational period in ancient Greek art, characterized by its use of geometric patterns and stylized figures. This style is most prominently seen in pottery but also appears in sculpture and other media.
The Geometric style first appears in Athens at the beginning of the 9th century. It ends the experimentation of the Protogeometric by selecting and following consistently a system of rectilinear ornamentation (e.g. swastikas, meanders).
The migration of populations across the Eastern Mediterranean and the contacts with the peoples of the East brought about upheaval and instigated a new period of social, economic and artistic changes in Greece that was conventionally called Geometric (1050-700 BC).
The Geometric style appeared from 900 BC and favoured the rectangular space on the main body of the vase between the handles. Bold linear designs (perhaps influenced by contemporary basketwork and weaving styles) appeared in this space with vertical line decoration on either side.
