ART 355: Sculpture Foundry: Sculpture Overview

Studies major works by important sculptors since Rodin in the light of different approaches to general sculptural issues to reveal the logical progressions from nineteenth-century figurative works to the conceptual work of the present.

In this illuminating survey, one of Brittan's ablest and most articulate sculptors gives an artist's view of what really happened when, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sculpture re-emerged from centries of semi-eclipse.

Since 1945 the modern revolution in sculpture has gathered pace, and even the term sculpture has ceased to be the fixed category it once was.

Beginning with Rodin, this account traces the history of modern sculpture through text and many photographs.
