Description

Sculpture is one of the arts most ancient in origin. And the first sculptor of material, tangible forms was, without doubt, the Creator of all that exists. In trying to recreate the surrounding world in clay or stone, every sculptor strives not merely to embody a passion for creation, but also to endow cold form with the fire of a living life principle, to imbue matter with spirit, to become party to the creation of the world. Therein lies the compelling power of the art of sculpture. The book presents the biographies and creative paths of the finest masters, from Phidias and Praxiteles to Michelangelo and Rodin.
