Description and Table of Contents

Description

}This comprehensive guide to every aspect of making sculpture presents all the tools that the contemporary artist will need for translating ideas, through technique, into finished works. Anthony Padovano, one of America's foremost sculptors, has worked in every medium under such teachers as Jacques Lipschitz, Theodore Roszak, and Meyer Schapiro, and in this book he communicates his excitement and enthusiasm as well as his expertise. With sections on clay sculpting, wood and stone carving, metal working, bronze casting, and plastics, the book offers step-by-step advice on traditional styles as well as avant-garde modes that challenge the limits of technique and the imagination. A reference chapter on where to find suppliers, a list of books for further reading, and dozens of photos will benefit the aspiring sculptor, as well as the student of art interested in understanding the sometimes mysterious processes of the sculptors craft. }
