We're looking at one question: In 5,000 years, how did artists progress from creating works such as the Egyptian Hatshepsut to works such as Frishmuth's The Vine (the two works on the cover of this ebook)? To find out, we focus on innovations that gave the artists who created them—and all artists who followed—greater power to make viewers stop, look, and think about sculptures.
This jargon-free essay will give you a framework for looking at any period of Western sculpture, so that you won't be overwhelmed when you walk in the door of a museum. It'll also help you find more subjects, styles, and periods that intrigue you and appeal to you—that show the world the way you think it can and ought to be. And what's the point of looking at art, if not for moments like that?
