Bronze sculpture

In his essay “Bronze Sculpture in the Hellenistic East,” Matthew P. Canepa argues that Hellenistic bronzes, as objects of material culture, offer insight into the cultural exchanges happening between the Hellenistic world and various other ancient cultures. According to Canepa, Greek visual culture “served as prestigious means of display and communication within and beyond the lands of Alexander’s former empire” (83). The iconography of the bronze sculptures remained inherently Hellenistic, yet their form often reflected the local style of the artists that created them. The bronze sculptures found in the Greco-Bactrian colonies of Alexander the Great amalgamated Hellenistic and Eastern artistic practices, creating a body of work that becomes…

These materials, but not limited, include: stone, clay, metal, or wood. The principles of sculptural design include: orientation, proportion, scale, articulation, and balance. All of these things make up a masterpiece. To create a sculpture using stone or wood is by…

After reviewing Pablo Picasso’s Bull’s Head sculpture, his ability to assemble the bike seat and handlebars and maintain it’s simplicity yet resemble the image of a Bull’s head is astonishing.

In this paper I will evaluate and analyze the work of Henry Moore. Some of his work is display at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I will be analyzing two of his sculptures, the “Torso” and the “Relief No. 1. These two pieces are unique in their own little ways.

Among these works are two of his sphere series, Sphere/Sunrise (2008) and Sphere/Sombra (2008). Both are composed of glazed ceramic. Linear designs are engraved into the ceramic to add texture to the pieces. Sunrise combines yellows, oranges and browns. Sombra mixes purples, dark reds and black glazes. Though they each share the same basic form, they are differentiated by colour and pattern. In Spanish, sombra means “shadow,” placing it in direct contrast with Sunrise. Despite their direct…
