關於本電子書
Wood Sculptures explores the compelling history and cultural significance of wood as a sculpting material across diverse cultures and artistic movements. The book reveals how sculptors have transformed this readily available, renewable resource into powerful artistic expressions, reflecting spiritual beliefs and aesthetic ideals. For example, wood's unique properties allow for techniques like carving and joinery, showcasing the intimate connection between the sculptor and the material.
Highlighting often overlooked non-Western traditions, the book challenges conventional art hierarchies, emphasizing wood's vital role in human creativity and cultural identity.
The book progresses chronologically and thematically, starting with the properties of different wood types and sculpting techniques. It then examines wood sculpture in cultural contexts, such as African tribal art and Polynesian carvings, before exploring its evolution in Western art from the medieval period to contemporary installations.
A unique aspect of Wood Sculptures is its holistic approach, considering not only the aesthetic qualities but also the cultural, social, and environmental contexts. The book also touches upon the challenges and opportunities facing wood sculptors today, including sustainable practices and new technologies.
