About this ebook
Sculpture gives form to gods, heroes, ideals and ideas in three dimensions. This book traces its history from prehistoric figurines and the monumental art of Egypt through the idealised bodies of classical Greece, the devotional carvings of the Middle Ages, and the genius of Michelangelo and Bernini. It continues through the bold experiments of modern and contemporary artists. It explores materials, techniques and meaning, and shows how sculpture has marked power, faith and memory in public space. A Brief History of Sculpture is an accessible introduction to art you can walk around.
