Abstraction does not happen at 3D or higher dimensions. Abstraction happens in the second dimension. The Greeks made lifelike marble sculptures during the Hellenistic era (300 B.C.) but it took almost 2,000 more years before artists could make lifelike 2D pictures.
- mkl 6y agoI'm not sure that's true. Marble sculptures last much longer than paintings (case in point: the paint that used to cover the sculptures is gone), and Roman artists were able to paint well not much later. Most Roman paintings are gone too, but some have been uncovered in Pompeii, Herculaneum, etc.
