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.

  • Ancient World’s Most Mysterious Religious Cults The: The History of the Cult of the Apis Bull the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Mysteries of Mithras - cover

    Ancient World’s Most Mysterious...

    To the ancient Egyptians, the gods and goddesses were all around them and could be seen daily in nature. Nearly every animal found in ancient Egypt, both domestic and wild, were associated with a god or goddess, which can be seen in Egyptian art where deities are often depicted with human bodies and animal heads. Or sometimes the deities are portrayed as complete animals. Since deities were associated with certain animals, all animals of a specific species were given divine and protected status. The reverence that ancient Egyptians had for certain animals evolved during the long duration of Pharaonic history until by the Late Period animals of specific species were mummified by the thousands as offerings for their associated deities.  
    Ancient Greece and its mythology has fascinated people for thousands of years, and few elements have intrigued people quite like the Eleusinian Mysteries, which the Greeks believed transformed the initiates and gave them knowledge that eased both the living of life on earth and allayed fears of death, allowing an acceptance of their ultimate fate. The influence of the Eleusinian Mysteries was also far reaching; for example, the Telesterion is reminiscent of the labyrinthine, symbolic structures that can be found all over pre-historic Europe, ranging from those in Ireland to Malta and Crete to the Shetlands. The larger precinct of Eleusis, combining as it did caves, terraces and buildings carved into the rock again, all echo that ancient past.  
    	The cult of Mithras was not a creation of the Romans, although they would eventually add their own rituals and mysteries to the ancient religion. In fact, the Mithraic religion was an Indo-Persian creation, a theology which managed to travel from India and back into the Hellenic and Roman world by way of Alexander the Great’s conquest of the Persian Empire. Eventually, the cult of Mithras would spread across the ancient world.
