Artistic media three dimensional art/ART 102/Tasks
For thousands of years sculpture has been the bedrock of three-dimensional art. Carved from stone or wood, or cast in bronze, sculpture has so often been figurative. From a western cultural perspective, sculpture has also often been in a realistic style. The advent of modern art in the first half of the twentieth century has radically changed the formal characteristics of sculpture and, in some cases, the content.
After viewing the following three images of sculptures, as well as two of your own choice, comment on the issues of form and content in each one of them.
- Egyptian Sculpture, The Female Pharaoh Hatshepsut
- Picasso’s Woman in the Garden
- Louise Bourgeois’ Cell (Eyes and Mirrors)
