Freedom Summer 1964  Sculpture

 
   
Human beings have had the necessity to sculpt their own image since prehistoric times.
For example, we have the Venus stattuettes discovered in different parts from Europe.
Practically each culture has had its own sculptural tendencies, from the Greeks, Egyptian, Orientals, happening through different eras, developing and evolving unique styles of sculpture.

Classical sculpture was forgotten for a thousand years and then revived again during the Italian Renaissance. One of the most important sculptors in the classical revival was Donatello. Many other sculptors such as Michelangelo also made works which can be considered classical. Modern Classicism contrasted in many ways with the classical sculpture of the 19th Century which was characterized by commitments to naturalism (Antoine-Louis Barye) -- the melodramatic (François Rude) sentimentality (Jean Baptiste Carpeaux) -- or a kind of stately grandiosity (Lord Leighton) Several different directions in the classical tradition were taken as the century turned, but the study of the live model and the post-Renaissance tradition was still fundamental to them.
