Product Description
A veteran world traveler and art lover provides a foundation for a better understanding and appreciation of the sculpture of great civilizations.
In the West, the book covers works from Greece of the seventh century B.C. to Rodin, including Rome, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. In the East, it explores sculpture from India of the third century B.C. through China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
The author gives the backgrounds in religious belief, philosophy, and social organization, together with the varied approaches to formal structure as they developed at different times and places. Illustrated with 187 photographs, this book provides the reader with a basis of man's culture.
