The characteristics of ancient Greek sculpture: elegance, ideal and standardization. Explain these three beautiful women one by one.

Elegance and beauty "Elegance" (formalism is also translated as "formal aestheticism") and "brutalism" go hand in hand, but they are opposite in artistic effect, but both are more "rational" in design ideas. "Wild" is mainly popular in Europe, and "elegant" is mainly in the United States. The aesthetic root of the former is the "true" expression of materials and structures in "modern architecture" before the war, while the latter is committed to using traditional aesthetic principles to make modern materials and structures have a sense of regularity and elegance. Its representative figures are mainly American Johnson (P.Johnson, born in 1906), Si Tong (E.D.S.tone, 1902- 1978) and Yamazaki (M.Yamasaki, born in19). Perhaps their works are reminiscent of classicism or ancient architectural forms, so "elegance" is also called "neoclassicism", "neo-Paradism" or "neo-retro".

As a style, "elegance" means that like other styles, there are many superficial and shoddy works. However, there are many works with "elegant" style, but they are quite creative in function, technology and art. For example, Yamazaki, a Japanese-American commercial architect, advocates creating "kind and elegant" buildings. Yamazaki tends to be sharp when he creates "elegant" style (left "stone" and right "spin"). 1964, the Science Museum of the Seattle World Expo was ordered, 1973, and the first floor of the World Trade Center in New York was also ordered. Although some people call such treatments "neo-retro", they are all combined with structure to some extent.

The trend of "elegance" and the trend of exquisite technology are very similar in some ways. One is to emphasize the exquisiteness of steel and glass structures in form, and "elegance" emphasizes the exquisiteness of reinforced concrete beams and columns in form.

After the second half of the sixties, the trend of "elegance" began to cool down, but after all, it was easily accepted, so it still appeared from time to time.
