Description
Discover the world of sculpture with this accessible guide. From public parks to architectural landmarks, sculpture is an integral part of our daily lives.
This book explores Western sculpture from antiquity to the present day, providing insights into how to analyse and fully experience three-dimensional art. Mary Acton examines various types of sculpture, including free-standing figures, group sculpture, and reliefs, as well as their connections with architecture, drawing, and design.
Richly illustrated with over 200 images, this book features a diverse range of works by artists such as Henry Moore, Cornelia Parker, Richard Serra, and Thomas Heatherwick. With its unique perspective on sculpture's relationship to space and context, Learning to Look at Sculpture is an ideal resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this multifaceted art form.
