Guide To Sculptors Who Have Inspired The Art Of Contemporary Sculpture
In the world of art, the word “modern” can be in reference to the artist, the work of art or the style utilized that has been popular during the past century or sooner. Being young or new does not necessarily mean that art work is modern.
As time passes, an art can turn into a “classic” which signifies timelessness just like the Medieval, Baroque and Renaissance styles. This also applies to sculptors and sculptures.
The art of making sculptures is one form of art that has been in existence for hundred of years. Many have been coined as classics while others were tagged as modern. A lot of our present time’s sculptures, paintings and metal wall art sculptures were influenced by contemporary sculptors.
Constantin Brancusi (1876 – 1957).
Constantin Brancusi, who was born in 1876, was Romanian born sculptor but made France his home. Brancusi refined the art of making sculptures as an art form instead of part of architecture.
His main influence came from Auguste Rodin where he learned that a force within a sculpture creates its surface.
“Corche” was created by Constantin Brancusi in 1902 and is still used by medical students in Bucharest. He has the reputation of providing an aura of mystery in his works while still showing the basic beauty of the sculpture.
Later, he concentrated more on the most basic form of the sculpture using a minimalist approach.
Naum Gabo (1890 – 1977).
Gabo was a Russian-born sculptor who later became an American. He lived in Norway during the World War I and it was during this time that he was developing the “stereo metric method” of sculpting.
In the years that followed, the stereo metric technique became a great influence in the art of sculpting, even in today’s wall sculptures.
His initial sculptures were in Cubist style whereby he utilized sheet metal and celluloid to work with. As a sculptor, Gabo is very adventurous and experimental with his materials. He was known to use a diversity of materials, including plastic, glass and wire. This experimentation resulted to many great works and influenced today’s creation of outdoor metal wall hangings, plaques and other art forms.
Ivan Mestrovic (1883 – 1962).
A Croatian-American sculptor, Mestrovic was greatly influenced by the classic Greek style and Auguste Rodin.
His work is usually big and somber. Mestrovic’s work includes sculptures made from bronze, marble and wood. His interests in Yugoslavian folklore and history provided the inspiration for his main subjects, including biblical scenes and churches.
Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973).
One of the more popular artists, Picasso was first known as a painter. His paintings are now wildly popular because of their originality and emotion.
Unknown to some, Picasso has also dabbled in the creation of sculptures and other forms of art. It was stated that some of his paintings were even influenced by sculptures. Picasso’s legendary style of painting was owing to his inspiration of Iberian sculpture. His use of Cubism was influenced by an African sculpture.
Auguste Rodin (1840 – 1917).
As a source of inspiration by many artists, Rodin’s works were seen as visionary. His work has influenced great many artists that ultimately shaped some of today’s art.
This Frenchman looked at making sculptures as permitting the shape of his materials to come out. He perceived his materials as objects that only require shaping to create different effects on its surface.
It was during a trip to Italy in 1875 that resulted to one of his greatest work of art – The Age of Bronze. Art historians surmised that he used a human being as a mold because it was so lifelike in form.
In modern times many forms of art have been significantly influenced by these great artists. Although most may not recognized it but in one form or another we have brought it a little part of their art in our home.
