The sculpture

Sculpture is one of the most diverse, fascinating and varied art forms in Western art. From the gigantic sculpted pieces of ancient Greece to the abstract sculptures of contemporary art, from the figurines of prehistoric civilizations to the kinetic sculptures of the 20th century, this art is as diverse as it is intriguing. 4

Sculptural art began in the Upper Paleolithic with a small figure known as the Löwenmensch. It is considered to be over 40,000 years old. Sculpture can be made with most 3D modular materials. Here are the four main procedures of this art over the centuries: rock cutting, wood carving, metal sculpture casting and ceramic modulation.

Description
En voyant un coureur kenyan quelques mètres après la ligne d?arrivée, j?ai trouvé cet instant intense. Il fait résonner en moi ce goût pour l?esthétique du geste sportif. Cette posture symbolise un aboutissement. Le coureur est alors libéré, relâché, le sourire aux lèvres, la foulée légère. Son regard est dirigé entre ciel et terre. Il semble remercier une force spirituelle qui l?a amené jusque là. Il cherche dans le public ses proches qui l?ont aidés dans cette aventure. » Seeing a Kenyan runner just a few meters after the finish-line was an intense and inspiring moment for me. It resounded in me a taste for the aesthetic nature of sporting gesture. This posture symbolizes an achievement. The runner is then released, slackened, the smile with lips, the light tread. His glance is fixed between the sky and ground. He seems to thank a spiritual force which brought him there. He seeks in the public his close friends and family who aided him in this journey.
