Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Concerned with the qualities which exist in uniquely sculptural objects, the author wends his way, without chronological restrictions, through the history of sculpture, bringing to bear considerable documentation from the writings of artists and philosophers in support of his views." * Yale Review *
"Thoroughly erudite and thoroughly convincing. . . . A book which should lead to a thorough reappraisal of the role of sculpture in the trinity of the major arts." * Virginia Quarterly *
"Few critics write history at all, but this book is very good history. Within its field it is a systematic and almost invariably exact record. As a history, it will surely remain more useful to more people than anything else on the subject."---Lawrence Gowing, New Statesman
