History of Sculpture
Sculpture has been a revered art form since the beginning of time. From classical sculpture originating in Greece where artists explored
bronze sculpture and
marble sculpture, to Roman statue with influences from Etruscan tombs - displaying power, triumph and grace. Early medieval art highlighted ivory carvings and panels,
metal sculpture and representations of divinity. Romanesque sculpture evolved into Gothic architecture, and Renaissance sculpture then produced works such as the iconic, classically-inspired David of Michelangelo. Neoclassical sculpture borrowed from Hellenistic sculpture to create portrait statues, and Modern classicism then eventually paved the way for Modernism to emerge in the early 20th century. Modern sculpture as an art form is broader than ever before - the sculptures are no longer restricted to
figurative, bust, ready-made representations . Lights, happenings and
art installation have also entered the field. Boundaries have certainly been extended and traditional ideas re-examined.
