Beskrivning
A stunning visual history of sculpture from prehistory through modernityThis book presents an aesthetic of sculptural art, which has too often submitted to the rule of architecture and painting. 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.

"Concerned with the qualities which exist in uniquely sculptural objects, the author wends his way, without chronological restrictions, through the history of sculpture, bringing to bear considerable documentation from the writings of artists and philosophers in support of his views."
