Their graves were furnished with metal objects, innately precious by the scarcity of copper, tin, and gold deposits in Greece. Evidence for the Geometric culture has come down to us in the form of epic poetry, artistic representation, and the archaeological record.
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.
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]
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).
Geometric art refers to a style of ancient Greek art that emerged during the Geometric period, roughly from 900 to 700 BCE. This period marked a significant transformation in Greek art, characterized by the use of geometric patterns and motifs, as well as the introduction of more complex narrative scenes.
The Geometric Period in Greek art is distinguished by a reliance on geometric shapes to create human and animal figures as well as abstract décor. In the eleventh century BCE, the citadel centers of the Mycenaeans were abandoned and Greece fell into a period with little cultural or social progression.
The Geometric art spans the period from the late 11th to the 8th century BC and is characterized by exquisite examples of bronze metalwork. Art was influenced to a large extent by the Homeric Epics.
