- Compares the evolution of Greek sculpture over the centuries to works of contemporaneous Mediterranean civilizations.
- Emphasizes looking closely at the stylistic features of Greek sculpture, illustrating these observations where possible with original works rather than copies.
- Places the remarkable progress of stylistic changes that took place in Greek sculpture within a broader social and historical context.
