Summary

"Birth of Modern Sculpture" delves into the revolutionary period when artists redefined sculpture, breaking from classical traditions to embrace innovation. The book explores this transformation, highlighting how sculptors responded to societal shifts and technological advancements, leading to the birth of entirely new forms of artistic expression. Notably, the rise of steel production and welding provided unprecedented possibilities, and the decline of traditional patronage challenged established norms. The book examines the rejection of academic conventions, the embrace of new materials, and the exploration of abstraction. Beginning with 19th-century traditions, it progresses through the influence of early modern sculptors like Auguste Rodin and avant-garde movements such as Cubism and Futurism. Ultimately, the book analyzes the rise of constructivism and non-representational forms, revealing how sculptors moved beyond mere imitation. This exploration provides a comprehensive overview of a pivotal period in art history, offering new insights into the forces that shaped modern sculpture.

    The Sengoku period, meaning “Warring States,” was one of the most turbulent and transformative eras in Japanese history. Lasting from the mid-15th century to the early 17th century, it was marked by ceaseless conflict, shifting alliances, and the gradual disintegration of centralized authority. The roots of this period can be traced back to the decline of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Ōnin War, and the rise of regional warlords known as daimyo, each vying for control over Japan’s fractured political landscape. 
The Ashikaga Shogunate, which had ruled Japan since the early 14th century, gradually lost its grip on the country due to internal corruption, weak leadership, and an inability to maintain order. By the mid-15th century, the shogunate had become largely symbolic, with real power resting in the hands of feudal lords. These tensions erupted into full-scale conflict with the outbreak of the Ōnin War (1467–1477), a devastating civil war primarily fought in and around Kyoto. What began as a succession dispute within the shogunate spiraled into a nationwide conflict, leading to the destruction of Kyoto and the collapse of central authority. 
With the Ashikaga Shogunate rendered powerless, Japan entered a chaotic era where military might determined control. Local daimyo, originally appointed as provincial governors, seized the opportunity to establish autonomous domains. These warlords fortified their territories, raised armies, and engaged in relentless battles to expand their influence. The traditional system of hereditary rule began to erode as capable military leaders, often of humble origins, overthrew established families. This period saw the rise of powerful daimyo such as the Takeda, Uesugi, and Hojo clans, each striving to dominate the fractured nation.

    Moonlight bathes the mountain shrine. Wind howls across the desert landscape. 
Finn enters the ruined structure, limbs weak and eyes glazed. Images of foul, perverse acts adorn the walls. A stone altar awaits a sacrifice. 
A dark force calls this place home. The time has come to receive its blessing. 
But a price must be paid. 
Absolute devotion. Absolute subjugation. 
Finn strips nude and falls to his knees. 
The ritual begins.
