A stunning visual history of sculpture from prehistory through
modernity This book presents an aesthetic of sculptural art, which
has too often submitted to the rule of architecture and painting.
Herbert Read emphasizes the essential and autonomous nature of
sculpture—“Form in its full spatial completeness,” in the
words of British sculptor Henry Moore. The Art of Sculpture
provides historical support and theoretical rigor to this
conception. Along the way, this incisive and wide-ranging book
takes readers on a breathtaking tour of great works of sculpture
from prehistoric times to the modern era.
