The Art of Sculpture
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"If we look through an illustrated book dedicated to the history of sculpture, or if we walk through the galleries of sculpture in some great museum, we are immediately struck by the amazing fact that at least nine-tenths of all the sculpture ever carved is devoted to one subject — the human body. . . . Only in comparatively recent times has sculpture been conceived as an art capable of creating three-dimensional form irrespective of subject."--The Art of Sculpture (1951) by Herbert Read |
