A Look At Five Artists Who Inspired Contemporary Sculpture
In the world of art, the term “modern” refers to either the artist, the artwork itself or the style used which have been popular during the past decade or century. It does not signify that an art is “modern” just because it is young or new.
As time passes, an art can turn into a “classic” which signifies timelessness just like the Medieval, Baroque and Renaissance styles. This likewise applies to sculptures and sculptors.
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. There are many modern sculptors who influenced a lot of today’s sculptures, paintings and {metal wall art sculptures~A lot of [today's|our present time's] sculptures, paintings and metal wall art sculptures were influenced by modern sculptors}.
Constantin Brancusi (1876 – 1957).
Romanian born sculptor Constantin Brancusi called France his home. Brancusi honed the act of creating sculptures as a form of art rather than architecture.
He was mainly influenced by Rodin from whom he discovered that a force from within a sculptures brings it to the surface.
“Corche” was created by Constantin Brancusi in 1902 and is still used by medical students in Bucharest. His reputation is one of providing an air of mystery in his work while still exhibiting the basic beauty of the piece.
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.
The following years, the stereo metric method became a great influence in the art of sculpting even in today’s wall sculpture art making.
His initial sculptures were in Cubist style whereby he used celluloid and sheet metal to work with. As a sculptor and artist, Gabo was very experimental and adventurous with the materials used. He has known to use materials including plastic, wire and glass. This experimentation resulted to many great works and influenced today’s creation of outdoor metal wall sculptures, 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 works are typically huge 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 basic subjects, including churches and scenes from the Bible.
Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973).
One of the more popular artists, Picasso was initially known as a painter. His paintings are now widely popular because of its 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 mythical 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 gone on to inspire many great artists that have invariably shaped the face of modern art.
This Frenchman looked at making sculptures as allowing the shape of his materials to come out. He perceived his materials as objects that only necessitated shaping in order to create effects on the surface.
One of his greatest works, the Age of Bronze, was the result of a trip to Italy in 1875. This sculpture was so realistic in form that scholars believed that he used a human being as a mold.
Today, many forms of art have been greatly 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.
