Description and Table of Contents

Description

A stunning visual history of sculpture from prehistory to modernity This book presents an aesthetic of sculptural art, which has too often submitted to the rule of architecture and painting. In this beautifully illustrated book, Sir Herbert Read emphasizes the essential and autonomous nature of sculpture-"Form in its full spatial completeness," in the words of British sculptor Henry Moore. The Art of Sculpture provides historical support and theoretical rigor to this conception. Along the way, this incisive and wide-ranging book takes readers on a breathtaking tour of great works of sculpture from prehistoric times to the modern era.
