Livre 97 sur 142: Dover Art Instruction
Synopsis
Excerpt from Modelling and Sculpture, Vol. 2
Innumerable books on almost every conceivable phase of Art have been published in recent years, and it may be asked why I, a sculptor by profession, have chosen to tread the thorny path of literature and add to their number.
I know of no work dealing exclusively, like this, with the purely technical side of plastic or glyptic Art, and affording the student, so far as a book can, every practical detail necessary to a complete knowledge of his craft.
I have endeavoured, as plainly and directly as possible, to place before him the result of many years' practical experience, and to show him how the knowledge acquired, stage by stage, of the modeller's and sculptor's art can be utilised; for I believe that this experience will be helpful to all those students who have an honest and whole-hearted desire to succeed in their profession, which has so many famous names on its roll of honour.
A book cannot make a man an artist - that is a matter depending solely on the possession of real artistic gifts - but many difficulties may be surmounted and unnecessary errors avoided if the student be shown at the beginning of his career the right way to go about his work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the techniques and processes of modelling and sculpture. The author, a sculptor himself, argues that the art of sculpture has experienced a significant renaissance in England in recent decades, noting a surge in both technical skill and artistic expression amongst British sculptors. The book provides a detailed exploration of the steps involved in creating sculptures, from initial clay modelling to the complex process of bronze casting. The author stresses the importance of a rigorous training, which he believes is crucial for aspiring sculptors to achieve mastery in their craft. He also examines the role of classic and Renaissance sculpture in shaping the aesthetic sensibilities of contemporary artists, and encourages aspiring sculptors to draw inspiration from both historical and naturalistic sources. The book's practical insights and historical context make it an invaluable resource for both students and seasoned practitioners of the art of sculpture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
