It is difficult for those growing up within contemporary institutions of
culture (museums, universities, art schools, etc) to appreciate the vitality and scope of
20th Century figure sculpture.
It's also difficult, especially for Americans, to appreciate those qualities of figure sculpture that
cannot be found in a wax museum.
The mission of this website is to overcome these difficulties !
So far, over 1000 sculptors have been listed -- but it's not really my ambition to list every kind
of figure sculpture.
I like sculptures of beautiful women -- heroic men -- and anything that approaches a profound, religious
sentiment (so I'm especially interested in the liturgical work from the living Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions. - since I've
found so little)
And I'm especially interested in better (and larger) pictures of work by sculptors already listed here.
But I have no interest in the weird, the hilarious, the ugly, the cutesy, or anything that belongs in an amusement park or museum of contemporary art
-- i.e., I really
have no interest in 99% of the figure sculpture being made in America today.
So maybe you won't find anything here that interests you -- but if you do -- and if you have taken pictures of things that
are similar ---- I would certainly appreciate whatever you can send me.
