MCH -Modern Sculpture- CANCELLED

Art Historian and MCH Resident Priscilla Camilli will present a 2-part series on Modern Sculpture. The modern era of sculpture began with the work of August Rodin in the late 1800s. Before this time, sculpture mostly showed realistic human figures, used natural materials like stone or bronze, and aimed to make the subjects look perfect or ideal. These sculptures were often life-size. But with Rodin and the artists who followed, Sculptors began exploring abstract shapes, geometric forms, and non-traditional materials-including metals and industrial objects. New ways of creating sculpture appeared, like using found objects or building with parts not originally meant for art. Instead of just solid forms, artists began to include open space as part of the sculpture itself. Join us for an interesting 2-part series as we explore this evolutionary time in modern sculpture.
