Questions About Modern Japanese Sculpture
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Modern day sculptures are typically made with bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin. Sculptures can also be crafted with gold, silver, aluminum, lead and iron. Find a collection of sculptures from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Rodin was called the Father of Modern Sculpture because he turned away from the traditional aim of sculptors and inspired future artists with his new approach. Instead of seeking to capture just how subjects looked, Auguste Rodin attempted to convey their emotions and inner lives through his pieces. You can see evidence of this in the simple yet dramatic quality of his most famous works like The Thinker, The Gates of Hell and The Kiss. Find a variety of Auguste Rodin art on 1stDibs.
