The importance of sculpture goes far beyond the aesthetic or ornamental, it is part of the great heritage of humanity and, as such, deserves to be appreciated and studied. That motivated us to create this collection of Sculpture books in PDF format, to facilitate research on this charming plastic art.
Throughout history, there have been exponents of great relevance for this art, among them emblematic figures such as Leonardo Da Vinci or Michelangelo. Learn by reading our sculpture books how these artists came to enchant both politicians and religious people with their carving and sculpture techniques.
Through sculpture, majestic works have been created, which for many centuries had ritual, religious or political purposes. Today, their purposes are more aesthetic and of appreciation of the work of art itself, under a conceptual work that structures it.
In general, sculpture is defined as the art of carving stone, sculpting, chiseling or molding forms through various materials. Among them are stone, metals, clay and resin. Today, however, the concept has expanded, making it more complex. Many artists, today, make assemblages and installations that are also considered, to a large extent, true sculptures.
Learn the techniques, materials, function and history of one of the most appreciated fine arts in previous centuries. And while it may not have the same meaning today, it is still a way of expressing an artist’s ideas and emotions. It’s time to repopulate museums with the best of current and historical sculpture.
