The Doryphoros typifies the new approach to depicting the human form in the high Classical Period of Greek art. Artists placed increasing emphasis on the ideal man, who was depicted in heroic nudity with a young, athletic body that was naturalistic in musculature and pose.

Contrapposto was historically an important sculptural development, for its appearance marks the first time in Western art that the human body is used to express a more relaxed psychological disposition.

Originally Answered: Why did Ancient Romans not wear beard like Greeks? When we look at portraits and statues of ancient Roman men, we can see that many of them did not have a beard. They are clean shaven. This tradition continued until Emperor Trajan who ruled 98-117.

They didn’t exercise specific muscles, didn’t eat good and their exercises were fighting and carrying things, not weight lifting. They had long dark hair with beards and wore light leather armour with an bronze helmet, armed with a spear and a round shield.

Although it is interesting that the stereotype of philosophers having beards goes back all the way to antiquity. I’m guessing it’s because the Romans did not have beards (generally speaking), but they idolized the Greeks, who definitely did. And the Greeks were idolized for their philosophy.

The beard provides the face with protection from the elements, and a natural shield from the more delicate parts of the face around the mouth and lips. Next, prehistoric men grew their beards for protection. The thick, rich beards that they could grow were so full that they helped cushion blows to the face.

Only a certain percentage of East Asian men are capable of growing a full beard. Another proportion of East Asian men are capable of growing facial hair but only in a very specific growth pattern in which hair only grows above the lip, below the lip and on the chin, with no hair growth on the cheeks or jaw.

However, the women perceived male faces with full beards as the most masculine, aggressive, and socially mature; the women also thought these men looked older.

2019 saw a huge rise in the full bearded hipster look but 2020 looks like a move towards clean shaven is well on its way. However, the beard trend 2017 style seems to be moving towards a sharper trimmed, and even clean-shaven look.

But the benefits of a clean shave are as follows: It can help remove dead skin (which could lead to acne and bad skin) It often makes you look younger. It will compliment a formal appearance. Women often prefer clean shaven men.

It’s possible that the “sociable” finding is related to the “aggressiveness” finding with beards: having a beard means you’re more dominant and aggressive (less friendly or social) and being clean-shaven means you’re less aggressive and more social.

always. Beards aren’t considered unprofessional all the time, in all settings and for all men. Unkempt beards are just as unkempt hair and apparel is considered unprofessional, but it’s wildly inaccurate to suggest that all beards are unprofessional.
