Shaping the World – Martin Gayford, Antony Gormley

Practiced by every culture throughout the history of the world, sculpture is a universal art form thatÂ’s deeply rooted in the human psyche and may even predate the advent of language. In this wide-ranging book, internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley and distinguished art critic Martin Gayford consider sculpture as an art form related to humanityÂ’s potential for thought and feeling, as well as to our urge to build, make pictures, practice religion, and develop philosophical thought. They take into account materials and techniques and consider overarching themes, such as space, light, and darkness.Shaping the World
