The Developing Process: The sculptor’s education in drawings and photography
From the late nineteenth through to the mid-twentieth century, the sculptor’s education – drawing from life, from nature, or from the cast – was remarkably consistent. With post-war rethinking, the curriculum changed radically, but was in many ways just as rigid. Using a wide range of material from individual sculptors’ archives, this show examines how sculptors have been taught to see three-dimensionally.
